What is always amazing is these services are now available in places that just a few short years ago were not an option for most people. Hi-speed it always the preferred connection speed, but the satellite broadband is nothing to laugh at and is many times faster than the primitive dial-up service. Latency is one of the expected cons, if your passion is multiple player games, other wise single player games won't be affected by these issues.
