Upload speed could be better. I'd check with the ISP if they'd be prepared to up it at cost of some DL bandwidth

I don't have big needs like that. Even when i need to fetch large files from my server ~10MBps is quite a lot. Games use fractions of that to maintain a steady connection, and i never waste bandwidht even when 10Mbps is a lot of leeway.(steady not meaning without latency, server hops will always increase ping) And well i don't have my own flat again yet in a while still :)

Check also pingtest.net to see the stability (jitter) of your connection. If it is 2 or less, you're ready to enjoy your VF :oP

Just to compare:
This is my ping to some random CZ server: http://www.pingtest.net/result/124968076.png
And this is my ping to New York: http://www.pingtest.net/result/124968305.png
As you see, ping differs, but jitter is still very stable.

Well i have already done these kinds of tests both when i lived with my GF and here at my parents place. Was mostly due to a recent remark in the shoutbox i did it again. But here is: http://www.pingtest.net/result/124994525.png to Oslo, ~100 Miles further then the first test. Thing is i've never doubted _my_ connection, but latency will still always happen to people online.
