The connection speed hardly matters in games, what matters is the quality of the connection, or as some people call it: ping.

If you have a bad ping but a 40 mb connection, you will still lag. Which is why dedicated servers are so awesome because they have awesome connection and act as a host does in a P2P match, which means no more host advantage or severe location disadvantages. Also all major processing is done in the server itself, so it reduces the lag even more.

In the case of dedicated servers, the only way you can lag is because of your connection or some glitch. Or if the dedicated servers aren't that good.

Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 were pretty much lag free.

Maybe they had good dedicated servers. Resistance 2 definitely had good servers, I played it, it had zero lag, I was quite impressed actually.

Demon's Souls on the other hand....well, not that much.
