Yup, the network code wasn't that great in the early days. It definitely seemed tuned to dial-up internet.

I was one of the lucky ones that got a cable modem in the early days (one way cable modem, down was cable, up was 56k!) and had a great advantage in player vs player, as I could outrun their lag, and generally do things faster than them if they were on dialup.
