Could anybody on the forum please tell me what the quickest speed available is on broadband i currently use wanadoo broadband at a speed of 2.2 Would I have a big advantage using a quicker connection for in - running would it make a big difference?

Thanx to anybody who can help!!

Not sure what the quickest broadband speed is but internet speed will not give any noticible benefits.

It may be worthwhile asking on the betfair forum what the time difference is between different media.

Internet coverages is not as fast as television and some specialised feeds are even faster, but still with a slight time delay.

I don't think broadband speed has anything to do with how fast information is sent and received, just how much can be sent and received at a time, like being able to get more cars down a wider tunnel without increasing their speed.

I have a network monitor, and get speeds of around 120kbps downloading stuff, but it only uses around 12kbps running one page of BA refreshing at 1 sec so increasing my broadband speed would not make BA or Betfair work quicker.
