It's been my experience that it depends on the dialup modem, and the ISP 
the dialup user has. The latest 56K modems, using the V92 standard, and 
an ISP that has V92 modems, can result in latency less than 200 ms. I 
have seen some dialup users get as low as 158ms, and have a playable 
game. Broadband is still much better.
