nope. 56k with voice chat off on CSS would have the same ping. Heck, thats actually what the netcode of CSS is designed for. Your rate number actually is how many b/s you are sending. rate 30000 is literally 30kb/s
Think of it like a pipe, in this imaginary pipe, the water flows through the pipe at the same feet per second no mater what. Whether the pipe is a straw or a 30 inch pipe does not mater. What changes between said pipes is how much water, not the speed of the water.
Thats how internet speed works. 56k is a straw, 30 inch pipe is gigabit.
Now yes, copper (dsl/cable) is slower(~1/3) then fiber, but the distance you are on the copper is very short, we are talking about micro seconds here, not milli. once you hit the main box its all fiber from there.
Satellite is different, you will have large latency from that, but thats because of the physics of it, transmitting to a satellite, and the satellite back down to a box. So your "last" mile is well.. not a mile but a few hundred, so those micro seconds add up to a few milli
Also, my rates from South Dakota

im on 30, with 3 roommates. actual bill is ~ 81 because of fees and taxes
Also apartment is sorta weird, fiber to apartment, but then goes into phone lines, so I am actually getting 30 in a dsl format. Its whatever. No one uses the phone line. Then I powerline it to my room. so... Fiber to phone line, to power cables, to Ethernet... not 100% ideal, but it works, only problem I have is when the powerline decides to drop into power saving mode and I cant contact the DNS, its a glitch without a fix.
Reason our internet costs are high in my town is because swiftel (which is assosiated with the utlity companies here, niceeee) only has to compete with mediacom, an internet company somehow worse then comcast. Look at consumer reports its kinda hilarious, and sad.
I mean these are the rates my grandparents get http://connectnw.net/centurylink/sou...r/redfield-sd/
