In my experience, dial up works ok when you play starcraft. It shouldn't be netzero's fault. You should try to ping yourself though. (speedtest.net?)

Since you're using dial up, there's no router to open ports with. I'm not sure how dial up works. Maybe there's settings in the 56k modem?

Back in the day I used to play on bnet on dial up. As long as I stayed in games with 4 or fewer people it was totally lag free! :D

263ms is actually really good latency for 3G wireless. That's probably best case scenario and your in game performance isn't ever going to be better.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

This isn't 3g wireless. Netzero is advertising dial up as "highspeed 3g" which is completely stupid because dial up is not 3g. They're just tricking people who have no idea what 3g is.

This is the morning, when everyone is sleeping and/or working. In the afternoons like 8 P.M. my speeds drops down to yours.

This problem likely has to do with how they 'speed up' dialup. To do that, they take everything you would receive and compress it before sending it down to you. This adds latency, but improves download speeds for stuff like webpages and images. They probably don't filter the packets though, so they're compressing SC's packets as well, thus resulting in the added latency.
Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?
