If you can afford it, Cable or DSL is the way to go. Some DSL providers have deals that wouldn't cost more than AOL for a month, usually 20 - 25 bucks. Some are a little more, like 30 - 40. You can get a solid 40kpbs with DSL, and sometimes as much as 500. With cable, you usually have anywhere inbetween 300 - 1000kbps.

Also, depending on what server you play on will determine how much lag you have. On the AA.COM server, I have 20 - 50 ping. But, on other public servers, I may have 250. This depends on the host as much as your connection; if the server host has a crappy connection, then you probably will too, no matter how fast your connection is.
