Oh totally: I had a "high speed" DSL connection that I shared with five other people (several of whom were usually on EQ with me). My shared part of the bandwidth was laughable compared to my current cable connection, but it still beat 56k.

However, a lot more than 1% of the player base was still playing EQ on a 56k back then, so I stand by my claim.
