Maybe with DSL. It takes me 2-3 minutes just to zone and I have a 56k modem
due to having a nearly 500 ping, which Brad recently said was within the
average range (200-500). 9 zones takes 18-27 minutes just for zoning. My
neighbor who plays on a 33.6 modem takes 4 minutes to zon on average. Now
that's painful.

Why would the trip from Qeynos to Freeport take 45 minutes? With selo's you
can easily make it in 20.
