Nope. Totally works. You get used to the dalays eventually. The only thing that really doesn't works is FPS/realtime strategy games.

The round trip time is not that important for communication or remote desktop protocols. The other parties hear you with a 300-400 ms delay and you hear them with the same delay but people eventually get used to this.

Or they can use something that doesn't have those shitty delays... We could all get by with dial up modems too, but why suffer through that when something 100x better is available today?
