Time Warner. That pretty much says it all.
dialup != high latency (Score:4, Informative)
Although
High latency = slow
and
Dialup = slow
I wouldn't have thought of "dialup" to describe a high-latency connection. (Gee, by eliminating your local router, it drops a hop, and should be faster, right?)
Years ago, the latency from my DSL provider to some locations was so bad (>500ms ping times) that I actually dialed another ISP on when I was using an especially "chatty" protocol, and enjoyed better overall performance, even though the max theoretical throughput was only 1/20th what the DSL connection offered..

Thailand to US. Sometimes it can be even 400 ms to some US/EU server, but to slashdot is 300. Working over ssh on that kind of latency ... is painful, but one gets used to it.
Internet is good here, it's just that US/EU is so far away.. not as far as moon, but still..

You shouldn't have to get used to it. If you have any say in what software is installed on the far end, and you don't need X forwarding, then I suggest you try mosh [mit.edu].
