hi all...
i have a internet plan of 512kbps... my ping is somewhere in between 90 to 110... And i am playing counter strike source multiplayer without any problem... So can i play battlefield 4 or anyother games without any problem??

Bandwith at this level has nothing to do with ping only distance. Even if you have 100Mbps connection but you are far away from the server you will still have shitty ping. Even if you would have half of that 512kbps you could play online easily without problem.

Valve has got servers all around the world. So you will get good ping on Valve games even if you are in a third world country. But BF4 has limited servers. Your ping might increase dramatically if the server is far away. They also kick you out if you have very high ping.
