Anybody know the general numbers on how much upstream / downstream is needed to play a 5v5 + have vent running? I have a clanmate with pretty weak broadband, so with peer to peer it may bottleneck him.
i was running 1.5mb when the game came out and ran fine i upgraded to 5mb conn and nothing has changed not even my ping 
Ping will not change with bandwith, ping is more a measure of distance/infrastructure than connection speed (and subsequently a pretty poor measure of performance).
Any stable broadband connection would be fine, 512kbps up/down would work no problems. 256k might even be good.
256K is a no-go, thats what he has right now. Problem is since its P2P the upload bottlenecks and he lags out in anything bigger than a 2v2.
Yesterday i was registering uploads of upto 20KB/s, today its barely gone over 10, with the average being 7-8 (3v3 game, yet to try a 4v4). Even a 128K line will -just- about cover it.
A 3on3 takes about 15kb/s. A little less I would say, because I was monitoring the whole traffic of my computer.
