Going on-line with ps2...

Redskins8588 · 07-27-2004, 08:49 PM

I want to go on line with my ps2 but I am not sure if I can. I know that I need the adaptor, but what else do I need? Also as of now I only have dial up, do I need dsl or cable? And how do I find out if my provider will charge me? My provider is Earthlink. Some insight will be greatly helpful.

I would love to play other ppl and not the computer everytime.

:confused:

-Yes, you need the adapter

-It's necessary to have cable or DSL, though it does help

-Not positive about the provider, but I don't think that you will be charged

don't even bother if you only have dial up...

yeah with dial up u have a higher chance of being booted and having lag times in the gameplay. plus I heard u need broadband to use the headset but my source of info could be wrong.

Im pretty sure you cant have dial up, not with madden or a sports game atelast.

DSL is 50 a month on average. You can get it for cheaper or more because most providers offer speed choises now, they didnt do that as much before.

Yeah I am going to get DSL but I wasnt sure if I needed it right away to play on line. And since I mostly only have sports games I guess I need it sooner than I think.
