It’s not that bad I don’t think, but will I have any lag in games such as WoW? Thank you!

Whether or not you will experience lag and such all depends on several factors. Distance from the server (where ping comes in), quality of the connection, quality of the phone line used for the DSL connection, your computer, etc. There is no true answer to this question.

However, you should be alright to play. Of course you won’t receive the same low ping that you would with cable (depending on what Mbps cable service you had; and the connection quality and so on).
