Your internet speed is irrelevant for most online games. It's the latency that matters, and unfortunately there isn't a way to be sure of that before signing up. Sure downloading large updates and whatever takes time on a slow connection, but what you really want to avoid is lag while playing. If there's any way to be sure of getting a nice low-latency I'd love to hear about it.
In general terms, 3.0Mb/s is quite a reasonable speed though. I know it's all the rage now to have 8Mb/s or more but what you're considering won't be too slow for browsing and streaming. Even most torrents can't max out your connection at that speed, so more would be irrelevant. There are the occasional torrents I see running at incredible speeds but I find those to be the exception... Jam it back in, in the dark.
