Broadband Internet Question - Blu-ray Forum

Hey guys, I currently have Comcast as my ISP rated at 6.0Mbps downlink and 2.0Mbps uplink, however, I am switching to AT&T's DSL service due to tightening of money. It seems that the only available speed from AT&T's DSL service is the 1.5Mbps downlink with 256kbps and I was wondering if this was sufficient for online gaming on the PS3, in particular, games like Resistance 2? If not, what would be the minimum requirements be so that there is no bottleneck if I was to play such a game? Thanks.

well, i think you'll notice the difference in speed. whether that affects your online game play its possible. i'd sell one of the three ps3 you have to cover a year's worth of cable modem.

I've been thinking of doing the same, check this site. You get $125 cash back for switching from cable. Are you sure you can't get the 3 Mbps service? I think it's only $5 more.
