It is hard to imagine online gaming without a super fast internet connection. With how slow a dial up connection is at loading up even the simplest of web pages it is staggering to think of how slow it would be on graphic intensive gaming sessions. That is where a Dsl upgrade gain much of its current popularity. My wife play a particular online game. Word has it that this game had been planning on a major upgrade to the graphics but held off until Dsl connections gained more of a foothold in the market. They figured, and rightly so, that improved graphics on the game would slow up significantly the game play for those with dial up connections.  One option is Versalink DSL - a versalink upgrade could be just the thing you need to speed up your online experience.  Then you can play online games and even have live audio conferencing while you play, like with Xbox Live.
