Re: People hate paying twice for something should have already

said by KrK:

Part of the reason you have broadband is for things like less latency, faster online game play.

The idea of paying even more money to get something you should already have is annoying. Only the really hardcore gamers who live and breath and die online FPS would probably consider it. If your ISP is so crappy that your online gaming experience sucked, most people would be looking for a new ISP first...

However, many people don't have a choice of ISPs, especially broadband ones. Most people are stuck with only one.

To you and I and every other internet gamer, every broadband connection should have less latency and fast gameplay without lag spikes or connectivity issues. It seems that most ISPs are paying less attention to that aspect and more about the speeds of the line. Internet gamers don't need a 20mbps line. All they need is a 1.5mbps line with excellent latency. The problem is that the common consumer doesn't know that fact. They just think that more is better.
