I'm in Australia, people out of town like me can’t get ADSL at all, instead we get satellite or dial-up only, satellite only has a data cap/ limit you can’t get unlimited data, when you’ve used all the data it goes slower then dial-up… even when you have full data, or no data you are subjected to frequent drops in speed, sometimes getting kicked offline completely…. And to top it all off even if you have a meaty rig like me, games like alien swarm (which I have played my steam account name was something like Hogboz51) I had on average a ping of 999 and that was on full data as well (I think that’s like a 10 second delay)
