Sorry to be a pedant again, but the latency would not depend on the speed in bits per second.  That would have more to do with the number of hops and, loading on the devices.  The bits travel at the speed of light between devices no matter how many or few of them are being delivered.

Agreed with that - I did not intend to imply that latency of 56k modem is higher just because of lower bandwidth - as a long time real time online game player I know better! It just so happens however that (generally) with broadband latency improves as well, of course this has to exclude satellite broadband and some others! Just to reiterate - I am fully aware that higher bandwidth is not a guarantee of lower latency.
