I've played 3v3's with a couple of aussies in the game who have 56k, no noticeable lag.Aom does seem to lag some systems that shouldnt in theory lag, some memory leaks maybe, sometimes firewalls are the cause even though they work fine with everything else.My firewall was no trouble with unpatched aom but since 1.02 i have to switch it off in teamgames

Actually I find AoM Much more stable and less laggy than AoK. If someone has a crappy asian 14.4k modem (no offence to anyone), its obviously going to lag like mad.

Actually, if say, half the players are on broadband connections (5 MBit+), and the rest are on 56k, it won't go very well, because the broadband connections transfer and send data faster than the 56k, so it's often the broadband connections that make it lag when playing with 56k. But if it's a über-56k then it can work pretty well.
