Re: most important line...

most if not all game servers are rate limited and even with in that limit rarely hit it games use lots of very small packets

gaming needs low latency not high bandwidth

you could game on 128Kbps if you had good routing

the only thing i seen an issue with that i already see is over sold nodes and DSLAMs but that can be fixed

ATT and other own a lot dark fiber out there so i realy dont see a backbone issue there saying this is

but the last mile will be worst FiOS will be ok
cable as well IF they up the bandwidth to there nodes or add more

but there more backbone bandwidth then the telcos know what to do with

yet cell data providers atleast some of them list gaming as a violation of the TOS and atleast a session of WoW is less straining then even some surfing tasks.
