I've tested Warp Pipe before. I have the last Beta they released, and it sucks. MAJOR lag issues. Sorry, it just isn't acceptable. I was hoping it would at least be up to XBConnect quality, but nope. Basically, the ENTIRE race is normally in slow motion. It's not choppy, it's just literally in slow motion, like that's how the game was designed to lag. Since my normal online experience is almost lag free (and when there is lag, it's ALWAYS on the end of the other user's slow connection). Maybe Mario Kart sends a LOT more data than other games. I mean, it was hardly an online game, just something to use a hub or router or something for a LAN party, so compressing the data a lot probably didn't matter. Still, Halo seems to play just fine most of the time...
Sorry, Warp Pipe sucks. And, with no one else jumping up to make a better online solution, it's up to Nintendo to fix everything.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
