I have always been on dial up in California. Best I can get on is 26k due to old phone lines. Pings usually 200 to 250. Once and a while some say I warp, but that is rare. I usually have a very flat line.
I can even fly with my son who has ICS setup with me. We can't use vox, (then we warp) but we can just talk to each other across the room. Aces High does not require much bandwidth.
