Post Broadband Speeds for Gaming

Considering broadband internet in the near future as dial up is way too slow. As far as gaming is concerned, what kind of speeds should I be looking at for gaming purposes? Would 256K cut it with games like World of Warcraft or Battlefield 2?

Just shopping around at the moment.

I would think you may run into some lag with that yet. I'm not entirely sure what would be available to you but maybe this will help. The List is a listing of every internet provider, what they offer and links to their sites. That link will give you all the net providers in Australia. Good luck!

Cheers Lyndon, I'll give that site a whirl. The funny thing is, I have played Battlefield 2 using dial-up and it did actually work to my amazement although the time lag and FPS were as expected. Only played it the once.... Don't make a very good soldier when waiting for the screen to refresh.
