For gaming use 64k, 128k is no better. Don't ask me why I don't know Also if you connect at 128 you are paying double the phone bill.
I use a MRmodem crappy 12 squid isdn TA, Home Highway and Freeserve standard 0845 DUN, pings to BW CS servers 60/80 rock solid.
BW DUN ain't good for me, 2 hops, but PL and ping about 150, Freeserve 11 hops and much better ping, go figure, puters!

128k vs 64k doesn't make much diff because an ISDN line isn't getting strained in terms of bandwidth and both have the same (practically) level of latency.

cor i can do my analogy now (spamming this in irc other night)
Think of your 64k isdn as a lead pipe, 4 inches across. Pumping 1000 gallons of water through it will create higher pressure coming out the other end.
Think of your 128k isdn as a lead pipe, 8 inches across. Same amount of water, it wont actually travel any faster, but you will get double down the amount of water down the pipe. Downloading = the amount. Game ping = the speed. The speed will be the same, therefore ping wont budge. And online games dont have enough data to fill the whole 8 inch pipe, so it doesnt need the extra.
Thats probably the easiest way to explain really.
