I'm an avid pc gamer (2-4 hours a day), wife is often chatting away over our voip service with her sister while I'm gaming with 0 issues.

Just a piece of fyi, qwest uses interleave on their lines which adds 30-40ms to your latency. Usually not a big issue if you game on west coast servers or even Texas (65-100 ping).

I usually ping 120-150 to east coast servers. Usually not an issue.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19806665 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:10:15 EDT Re: Will Qwest vDSL (3 mb dl) hold up for gaming/working? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19805878 questionable : I currently use VDSL with choice TV and get 3/896 and Play Counterstrike, World in conflict and Guild wars with out a problem With a HTPC and 4 computers works wonders]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19805878 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:27:29 EDT Re: Will Qwest vDSL (3 mb dl) hold up for gaming/working? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19805459 anon : 3/896 is fine for online gaming (the 896 is more important than the 3). i had a 3/384 for years and it worked fine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19805459 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:39:35 EDT Will Qwest vDSL (3 mb dl) hold up for gaming/working? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19805419 anon : I maybe moving to an area around Phoenix where Qwest is the only ISP available (the internet is pretty much the deciding factor of where I am moving to)I currently have Cox premium cable internet, and have no complaints whatsoever, but how will vDSL (3 down/896 up)hold up?
