latency is a lot more important than bandwidth... (Score:5, Insightful)
I would rather be on 5mbps pinging 15ms to my office, for working remotely, than on 100mpbs with 100ms...

Newsflash: not everybody uses their Internet connection strictly to watch streaming videos, connect to online games or use websites that are filled with huge graphics or flash animations. And, for that matter, not all of us are downloading

World of Warcraft is *NOT* the type of latency-intensive game alphaminus's friend was talking about. Attacks in WoW combat might as well be individual HTTP requests for all the urgency and accuracy they require. No, my friend, he is talking about games where reflexes are important at the wrists and fingertips, not just in sarcastic statements. Try playing any first-person shooter like or real-time strategy game with a 200ms ping and you're going to find winning except by fluke (sometimes the other person gets disconnected, rage quits, or is told by his parents to go to bed) almost impossible.
