Well my average speed is about 1.5mb I believe (assuming you mean mb/s) and I don't have any problems with using the net at all, so 3mb should be fine, although take whatever theys ay with a pinch of salt because "up to 3mb/s" can mean literally any number from 1 to 3000kb/s.
3Mbps is pleanty as long as it's not heavily contended. Using a 3g mobile connection for gaming though will suck. Massive latency.

I second that.
I have a 10MB Connection, but it sucks, never reached 10240KBP/S - infact never reachs 300kbp/s, but i have had 291KB/s

Because of a high contention ratio. Try it at around 5-6a.m and see what it's like.

I played CSS using 3G once. Lets say the ping with over 1 second.

It might also be some settings on my PC? Any ideas what?
