I don't have 56k, I have Sattelite, which is much, much worse.
Anyways, during beta, like someone said earlier, it was all jerky and the AI would teleport, but the next day it was a smooth as butter. But during live, it's all teleporty and stuff. The only thing I can fly now is the Sorosub and any other multipassenger ships.

I'm on Cable so I dunno how bad it would be on 56k...
However, I do have the bandwidth/ping/fps window up at all times. The highest I've seen it go is 2.5k in/2k out...and that was when I was near a starport (where there were a lot of PC's). I think you should be fine, especially if you solo out in deep space.

Im on 56k, and it performs way better than the ground game. I usually connect at 44-52k, any lower and it becomes a pain to play. Only real issues are when i load from space to ground, takes AGES. But from ground to space takes maybe 15 seconds. 56k is fine on my end for space, but not the ground, i need cable

Yeah, space to ground takes way longer to load than ground to space. There's a lot more to load on the ground, plus it's laggier there.
eddieg50, the ground game has been fine for me, in general, on the ground, up until a few patches ago. I really only got lag in major cities like coronet and theed before; now I can get it occasionally in other places, and the lag in big cities is pretty nasty.
I played another couple of hours today, played wingman for a buddy who was doing privateer duty missions, and again it was really nice and smooth, just FYI for the originator of the thread. It looks like it's going to be fine for dial-uppers.
