My point was to say Linux users are usually more tech savvy than XBox
and Playstation users. If they say they have a high speed connection
and they don't and that decision ends up costing them more money in ISP

counter the notion that it must be completely abandoned, low
bandwidth/high-cost bandwidth users be damned. I was merely trying to
illustrate that there may be a way to make everyone happy.
