Take a look at this article:
Does the ‘Halo 2′ effect threaten broadband?
What a stupid article. No wonder I no longer subscribe to PC Magazine, and I no longer read zdnet.
How could they write something so stupid? There is absolutely no way that the Halo 2 users are using up the majority of the bandwidth in the world. Also, the article even states that essentially latency is latency. If you’re playing with someone on the other side of the world, you’re going to have latency no matter what. What can an ISP do about it?
Fear and doubt. That’s the only purpose of this article. Makes me mad to think that people will read that and think that the Internet will “fill up” with people playing Halo 2. Sigh…
