Default Broadband for gaming?

What broadband is best for gaming on PS3,currently looking at O2's premium ADSL2+ with speeds availible of upto 24 Mbps for £15/month.

If you have a mobile contract with O2 that price drops to 7.50 per month
But it also depends on how far you are from the exchange for any mobile package (except fibre and that depends if your street has it fitted) as you still lose out over distance, but its a good package for the money I have O2 bb

ADSL2+ gives you higher quality so higher bandwidth (ie up to 24mb) so an improvement over ADSL, though VDSL is the next step I believe
Distance wise, 2km aint bad, you should (as long as your wiring is in good condition and that BT's doesnt contain any aluminium cable) give you a decent speed
