We have cable at home and it's not bad, how does the connection/lag hold up with the wifi down here?

There is no lag with MUDs, because you're basically just using a telnet client to access it. If there's lag, it'd usually be a choke in the network somewhere, or a server issue. Because almost all muds are free, they're usually kept on hosted servers for free, which means a LOT of people are using the same server for a variety of things (usually the host runs a business so he gets to write off the server, and he gives out space on it to hobbyists).
Some muds have horrible connections to their servers. Ours is cloud-based and there's very rarely any lag at all. Downtime is also rare.
