ive had a DC for 3 to 4 months now. ive tried quite a few games online (nba2k, nfl2k, some racing games, etc) and have never had a problem with lag or any of the usual problems associated with PC gaming on a dialup connection. all this and i max at 28800 with the dreamcast.
i would definetely hold off on this until there is some need for it. (unless your one of the rare ones who uses the DC for internet access and email) -- im sorry.
peace.
ive had sprint broadband here in AZ for about 3 months now.. and i wish i had time to worry about somebody coming in my house because my mp3 bandwidth is stressing sprints backbone. if you take away the high latency, the slow downloads, and frequent 10 - 15 second "outages".. sprint broadband is 1 helluva service!
seriously though, if you are trying to decide between cable or sprint broadband.. go cable. the service is way more reliable.
just my 2 "sense"
