Must Be 1024 Kbps/1 Mbps?

[No gods, no masters.]

may i ask is that you must have 1024 kbps internet connection or what? Cuz i only have 100 kbps connection

[Cherry]

No. Where does it say that?

[No gods, no masters.]

The recommend settings section

[lexv79]

There are voice chat built-in in game.
Maybe 1024 kbps because of voice-chat?

[Darth Invader von Wookiee]

I have a hard time believing you download stuff at 11-12 kb/s in the year 2014.

If you wanted to say that you download with 100kb/s then you should also know that it's exactly a 1mb connection. Requirements for all games don't ask X "download" speed, they ask for x "connection" speed.

1024 kbps is 10 mbps i got 25 but sometimes i get 3000 kbps

[DJ_Trollin]

Where is your logic in that? 1024kb = 1mb. 1024 mb = 1 gb

You can use speedtest.net to check your INTERNET Speed. The game servers will have different pings so be aware.

1024 kilobit = 1 mbit = 125 KiloBytes. So if your download speed is 100+ KB/s you should be fine.

Also, Darth a lot of people I know are still stuck with 1.5Mbit DSL. The states are much further behind than many like to believe.

[Barrett_killz]

I've got the sh!ttiest internet in my country and my DL speed is 4,2Mbit/s. How can we talk about 1024 Kbit/s connections?

[boxman]

I am surprised people still have no idea of the difference between kbit and kbytes. If you had a 100kbit line it would be slower than a dialup dual isdn line.

[Smokey the Bear]

A 1mb line dls at 100kbps.

[bloody.sneaker]

Line->xbps (x BITs per second), download speeds->Xb/s(x BYTEs/s) -.- It's not so hard to understand...
There is a x8 factor of difference between those 2

[Risible Volatile]

b=bit, B=O=Byte(Octet for french speakers)
1B=8b
so 1kB=8kb
and then 1024kbps=1mbps=128kBps(the speed you usually read while downloading)
so if you Internet provider says it can give you 50mbps, you get 6400kBps while downloading at maximum (Steam is good at giving you maximum transfer rate!)

[Tommyknocker]

1024kbps is actually kilobits per second. Divide it by 8 (cause 1 bity contains 8 bits) and you'll get your actual speed in kilobytes :)
