Pretty friggin' expensive.I'd go with the 512/256 plan and try that. That's MORE than enough for gaming. You might be squeezed a bit on video streaming, though, which tends to be 450kbps at the low end. You'll also find your patch days to be slower since that's all about download speed.
But for gaming I think you'll find 512kbps is more than you'll ever need and that what matters MOST is latency and packet loss. You probably won't be able to measure that without signing up. (I doubt seriously if anyone on the phone will know much about either of those issues but you can try.)
My bet with Warhammer is you'd be able to handle scenarios and regular PvE but RvR would probably wreck you.
