Ah .. when I moved into my new house I had to use dial up for a couople weeks.. Used AOL and in World of Warcraft I would have 12k MS>.. so that wasn't fun .. you must have a good dial up connection then.I played World of Warcraft, Maplestory and Guild Wars lag-free for a few months. Runescape worked fine, too. Obviously first person shooters and other more bandwidth-intensive games would probably not function as well without lag - I haven't tried them though.
