It's completely fine. I use a 256kbps connection from BSNL and play counter strike online.....the ping/latency is 50-70(on Indian servers).....and it's really smooth.....
go for it...and if there's any other game that you plan to play then please do tell me because I searched a lot and I can't seem to find any other game's servers in India.

broad band sucks in terms of ping rate.
