Note:However, if you use voice comms software (like TeamSpeak or Ventrillo) when playing with clan-mates or whatever then you might then want to make rate lower to leave enough room for the bandwidth the voice comms software uses. In that case, a 256kps download speed connection might be better with, say, rate 15000; while a 512kps or faster connection could probably stick with rate 25000. The amount to deduct would depend on the amount of bandwidth required by whatever codec you are using with your chosen voice comms software.
