All depends on your internet connection. I won't even mention the dialup time of 30+ minutes for a 10mb game (oops, already did), but even some of the older 512k or 768k DSL infrastructures are beginning to feel like the new dialup, compared to the high-bandwidth cable or emerging FiOS connections.

I'm not kidding. I used to live rly far away from civilization.

I remember when I had Dial-Up, it went like, 2 kilobytes per second. Now that I have 30mbits Cable, I download at around like, 3 megabytes per second if the server is located near Victoria O.o
