Unfortunately 56k dialup sucks, big time. If you want to enjoy HPC (possible on 56k, but a lot harder than if you've got anything - ANYTHING faster), you'll need to join dedicated servers. I suggest the Bungie dedicated ones, or if you're in Europe, the EU-Bungie servers. Anything below 400 is playable, but if it bounces up past 1000 for more than a minute, quit and join a different server, or you'll just find it unplayable and everyone will get irritated at you.
On the plus side, you've got a big advantage to dodging, but it's much harder to hit people.You'll need to lead twice as much as other people, but they'll need to lead about 1.5 times as much - and if you play for a decent amount of time, you'll be used to it, but they won't.
Totally off topic, but I just upgraded from 4 years of 56k dialup to 8meg broadband.
This is undoubtedly a good thing. Yes.
