depends on your ISP.

if you are using a WISP they maybe add from 10 -100ms sometimes more.

if you talking about adding a wireless AP in your home then going thru your ADSL line add 2-3ms

bottom line very possible

If you're in the greater CT area I would recommend Uninet (www.uninet.co.za). I used to get sub 30ms pings to most game servers in SA, some nights as low as 12. Be prepared for everyone on the server gasping and flooding you with questions about what connection you have though :)
