DSL plans are usually fast enough for most online games. Although DSL is not as fast as cable or fiber, the minimum speed requirements for most online games are actually relatively low (unless you’re using a streaming service like Stadia). You don’t even need to get the fastest DSL plans out there to have more than enough speed for online games. What is important for online games is low latency. If you’re playing a game with fast action, high latency can cause the game to lag or even get you kicked off the server. Fiber and cable connections can give you lower latency than DSL. But if your internet choices are between DSL and satellite, DSL will give you lower latency and a more stable connection, even if the satellite connection gives you higher download speeds.
