Networks, routers, servers and choke points? Do you truely think that you have a direct line to the hub? Have you ever worked in an office on a network?

The problem with my dsl is that it bottle necks leaving town and cable doesnt make any gaurantees regarding bandwidth. Sure I get a crispy connect to the local office, but 99.9% of what I want to get to isnt local.

Oh, my bad. You're right. The ISPs would never oversell bandwidth. More people online at once would never flood whats in place, because they had gamers in mind when they constructed their infastructure. That money thing is secondary to them, gamers are first.
