Good Awareness vs, Bad Awareness in Gaming

The Broadband Lifestyle!!!!!

     

 "It was unbelievable how fast I was," he says. "For more than a year, I was beating the pants off people. While everyone else was still on dial-up, I could see the next thing happening before they even knew what hit them."


    Having incredibly fast internet intensifies the way playing online games can be. With a fast broad band internet connection you will dominate the players that have slow internet. But these days having a bad connection can be annoying to experienced gamers. When a player has a bad connection or bad internet speed it could create havoc. With bad connection you could cause the entire game to lag up. Lag causes game mathches to slow up and just go crazy. It causes players to lose complete control of there avatar or the game just crashes and completely destroys the players stats. There is also individual lag where your connection only affects you, that comes from bad connection or a poor internet provider. Players love to have good conections so they can brag about how much better there connection is compared to yours. With it they can host up most games and dominate the players because they have the dominant connection. Just about a few years ago internet gaming use to support dial up connections but nowadays every one has some type of high speed connection. Playing games with a super high speed connection could be the most                     breathtaking experience. With high speed internet it is possible to play the most graphic intense games out there, can also play with people halfway across the globe. The market has made more than 10 billion dollars over high speed internet. Nowadays competition is fast paced and exciting, and keeping up is going to be tough for the lagers.
