        Anything below 100 ping is good smooth unless you have packet loss

          My internet speed is 250kbps is it good?

          :/

            @goodman that is terrible.......

            ii

              You need 20 mbps

                I have played Dota 2 with 100kbps and I never want to do it again

                    you definitely don't need 20 mbps, you can probably play over dsl which is like 1.5 mpbs, but I'd say 3 mbps should be your minimum. It doesn't actually use that much bandwidth, you need good ping. But if you are on a tiny bandwidth connection like 3 mbps keep in mind that anyone doing anything else on it may cause lag.

                        What country are we talking bout here OP :O

                          @Bad Intentions: I'm sure we can take a pretty good guess at which country he's talking about

                          @OP: I used to play with 1mbps, and as long as the internet was not being used by other people, it was fine. You should consider upgrading your internet connection if you want to play decently. (It's definitely cheaper than always going to the computer shop if you play more than 1 game a day)

                            I play with 0,7 mbps but in the early month my internet speed is 10 mbps. Does Dota 2 need so much bandwith?

                              Im from philippines,, our connections are shit

                                250Kbps holy... That is terrible. I can't imagine how long you have to wait for Dota 2 to finish downloading.

                                  DotA 2 can be played at 384kbits smoothly with minimal ping (20-30ms) and zero packet loss.

                                      I played World of Warcraft with 64k, it's unlikely that DOTA needs more.
