So I have about eight people bringing their computers over for the release, I was wondering what kind of Download and Upload speeds would be required to handle eight people.
I have a gigabit switch large enough for the computers and they will be all be using cat6 cable.
I am a comcast subscriber and get about 25mbps down and 6mbps up would the be sufficient enough?
You should have no problems at all, this isn't WoW streaming tons of data, should have good time playing a lagless game, unless someone starts downloading some torrents or somethin'.

With 4 player cap on games, you're lan is split in two??
I've played Starcraft 2 with 8 people on the same Comcast connection without any lag problems. Though I agree with the sentements above, no torrents. Torrents take alot of upload speed, and your upload w/ Comcast is only a couple MBs and it massively slows you down. Happened once at one of ur SC2 LANs and we knew it right away.

i believe it was Jay but one of them said it was a low consumption of internet similar to D2 so expect a twice the amount D2 uses which im sure is over kill and 25 MBPS should be enough to even listen to music online lol

I played D2, and even WoW to a lesser extent on dialup.
Its terrible, but it can be done. To tell you the truth it was probably about the same shitty experience btn the 2 games.

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
During the beta I never saw more than around 3 KB/s up/down. usually averaged around 1 KB/s. You could have a LAN with your house completely packed on 25 MBPS internet and would be fine.

Strange, on peak points of the game (tons of monsters and loot being dropped) I would get a downstream of around 40-50 kb/s, and an upstream of around 5-10 kb/s. It could be just my imagination or my antivirus auto-updating itself (or skype, or hamachi, or whatever :fret:).
Someone else has a windows gadget that checks bits being downloaded/uploaded can confirm this?

Diablo 3 isn't a lan game! Go frag each other or something... even if you go retro and play some CS 1.6 you'll get brownie points from me! Geesh!
