When/if i do eventually hook me little 'cube up to the net, will i get serious lag with a 56k modem? I'm expecting a little bit, but if the lag problem is too big, i think i'll give this whole "internet gaming" thing a miss. Any help would go down well, i may even give you a half eaten bit of chocolate, but don't quote me on that.

Hrm, I also thought about this. But I dont think its really worth it on a 56kb. I dont know, unless somebody can prove me wrong.. but I think they're always be people with BB 0wning people on 56kb.

Bah.

Well Sega are the ones setting up online gaming, so no, it wasn't Nintendo.

I'am surprised that Nintendo released a Modem Adaptor. Lag can happen with a Broadband connection. Another problem is servers. When more and more people use online gaming, there is the threat of more lag.

In Japan the Playservers have threatened to buckle with the 200,000 users logging onto play Final Fantasy 11 on the PS2!

Calm it down ladies, neither of you are experts..


In answer to the original question, you will get a lag of at least 0.3 seconds. The effect of this will differ depending on the game type - most games will be unplayably lagged (and will probably refuse your connection attempt), while a few may not suffer at all.
