Didn't lag for me on the demo on lan so does this mean that when i get the patch that my game will be relativly lag free?

I played 1.1 with my brother over LAN for several days with no lag problems. Then he went home (about 70 miles away) and we tried to continue our game. We both have broadband (about 360 kbps up) but no matter which way we hosted it, we were getting the 30 second delay lag a lot of other people have noticed. I have read a few people saying that they played over the internet without lag but seem to recall them saying they had 10 Mbps or more, although I dont remember for sure. If this is the case that leads me to believe that the reason It worked over LAN but not internet, is that the game is simply trying to push more data than a standard broadband connection can handle, which if true, is lousy netcode. Unfortunately if it is the netcode, I dont think thats easily repaired. Of course Im not sure about any of this its just a thought I had. So I wonder if any of youguys have been able to play across the internet on a regular broadband connection without lag.
