2 computers in the house. what speed do i need.?

What i really want to know is do i need more than 2 meg if i want to access the internet with 2 computers.

At least 1 Mb Broadband.

2 meg is plenty, even if youre downloading it rarely makes a difference. Download speeds are just upped by isp's to get you to upgrade. Ive been told (sic) that torrent files normally download at between 0.1 and 1 meg so at the moment 2 megs will be fine.
Standard Broadband service is plenty. Don't be fooled into buying the higher priced premium package! I have 5 computers networked onto my single standard broadband connection (Shhhhhhh! don't tell the cable company!) and have no problems with speed. The only thing that ever slows it down is spyware, I have to run it weekly to keep all that crap off my computer! And my kids are always downloading music and videos.
This really depends on how much each of the computers is being used. If both are doing downloads of large files, then the slowdown will be pretty noticable. If on the otherhand, you are talking about normal browsing you will hardly notice the difference.
get broadband from talk talk they give you 8 megs for free. that should sort ya problem out ?
it's good enough if both computers just surfing the web. but if one of them wants to download Video and/or Audio files (often), then go for higher speed. let's put it this way, if you planning to download 2 or more music MP3's a day, get a faster connection.

Depends on the type of traffic you will generate, although 2 meg would be adequate for almost anything (2 PC's on video streaming would be the exception)
