That file can be a few kb up to a few hundred mbs. How long will that take on dial up?
Other than that, its going to be basically the same - everyone gets lag.

I'm not dial-up so these are just some observations from me.
Frequent streaming updates over Guild Wars, so you won't have to worry about hundred meg patches, etc.
I've seen some people do fine with dial-up, just a bit slow on the initial loading, while others completely lag out before the PvP match starts. Some of the lag issues will depend on your processor and vid card still.
Ah, you may load very slow the first time playing a map. Should load a lot quicker the next time around.
