Some of my friends use iBurst without a problem. If you can, test it by pinging to an international site (like google) and make sure there is no packet loss. (in command line : "ping www.google.com -t"

Ping statistics for 72.14.205.103:
    Packets: Sent = 8, Received = 6, [b]Lost = 2 (25% loss)[/b],
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 822ms, Maximum = 875ms, Average = 842ms

EDIT: As you can see, my work internet sucks

Ouch. Im getting it today so ill post results later today just if anyone else needs for future reference.

After you ping -t you need to ctrl+c at some point, or you'll never get results

Its pretty good same as my previous connection on ADSL except at 6pm-7pm (dunno before then) couldnt even connect to WOW but internet was fine it seemed.

Looks ok, though not good enough for PVP servers.

You might also find some oddities happening in game, though fortunately WoW handles some of these issues fine.
