Today with most people having high speed internet Lag isn't an issue.
Lag isn't an issue due to customers high speed internet? You should browse the World of Warcraft customer forums. Multiple Battlegroups (groups of realms/servers) are suffering from constant lag and it has *nothing* to do with the user's internet speed. Five years after release Blizzard still suffers from lag and "unexpected downtime". After 5 years of weekly/bi weekly maintenance, how much "unexpected" can there really be? Lets hope SC2 doesn't reach the WoW popularity or if it does, lets hope Blizzard has learned a lot more about infrastructure than when WoW launched.
Yes, I am a wow nerd, I'm not mad bro.
After spending 5+ years as a loyal AT&T Cellular customer, we (the wife and I) switched to Sprint. We also used our cellphones as our home phones and when we bought our first house, we found out inside the house is a dead zone. We live in Memphis, so it isn't like we're out in the mountains or anything. I can walk to the end of my driveway and get a full signal with AT&T, but as soon as I go inside, it's a paper weight. After 3 conversations with reps and supervisors over the phone, and visits to local stores, they ended up giving us a break on our last 3 months bill. I'd love an iphone, but not at the expense of not being able to use it at home.

You're not, I lol'd hard.
