Leaving aside the fact that you'd probably be spending more than 3 days straight downloading the mod... I would assume rather not.

Get DSL.  Even basic would suffice.

In a groundbreaking new feature, MWLL will include a new gametype: MechRockerBandHeroKersplosion.  Pilots will smash the throttle to classic 80's speed metal using custom ethernet plugin to real guitars.  PPC's will be triggered by power chords, and LRM ammo is selected by playing one of 17 distinctive hammer-on rifts.  Get a teammate elemental to hop up on your mech's shoulder and throw up the horns, and with a hot duel you can deflect enemy fire BY THE POWER OF YOUR ROCK!

Some parts of the world use 42k, some use 26k, and some parts of the world have no internet at all... bad luck really. :-\

There are many parts of the States that still are without broadband.

Among the world's top 30 countries, the US is only midfield. Seems like there are a few zones with excellent coverage and insane dl/ul rates, but all in all, it's not overly impressive. Pretty much as it is over here. Didn't expect our average rates to be higher though.

Damn I have to say I'm a little jealous of South Korea's score.

It's higher in any country that has a more dense population.  It costs a lot to string up highspeed to service boofoo here in the states, so don't take it too hard.

o.O hmm some how I got moved to a different thread.   Even with broadband our connection can still be slow at time as I live a long way from a major center so I have to get routed through a small ton of local ISP's before I even hit a major hub.

I have to be totally honest with you, the download for the project will be just under 2gigs. So that alone might be a bit much for a 56k.

Playing, however, shouldn't be a major issue though i can't promise optimal fidelity of course.

It will probably top the list as the largest file I will have download.
