I use a god-damned Compaq laptop in Canada with T1 and I still have 200-250 ms. I have a PoS onboard intel shared graphics card. I get some graphics lag when I stare at explosions or massive planets like gas giants and Manhattan. I don't bitch about it. Unless you have a computer that came with DOS 6.22 pre-installed, you have no right to bitch about your lag.
