You guys are confusing things here.
AC is desinged to work even on a 56 kB/s connection, which is referring to the bandwidth. When we talk about ping, then we're effectively talking about latency and not the bandwidth, in first place.
Latency is bound to the speed of light and distance. The further away two communitcating systems are, the higher the latency (ping) will be. This latency is recognized as lag in real time communication.
Around AC there's always been a great acceptance towards ridiculous high ping values. In my opinion 150 is the maximum. I personally look for servers with pings <100, no matter what FPS I'm playing. Anything beyond that gets just whacky and terribly lagged and therefore unstable/unpredictable and rather frustrating than fun.
If other's do not realize lag and are happy with 300+, then I'm ok with that and I might just leave the game rather than trying to vote someone out of it.
However, if a server owner decides to ensure that there will only be players with reasonable pings around, then he's right to do so.
