I thought so too @Traumflug , I thought it was ancient history. But for sure a ping of over 500 ms make a difference if you are selling in South America. I think we forget how good infrastructure we have in Europe. And cheap. At least in most countries. I live in Cyprus and are connected to a small local wireless provider, the only alternative really. But he pay 4500€ per month for a 100mb fiber to the backbone. This means our internet is expensive. In Sweden, my native country, my friends pay around 50 € for a 100/100mb fiber including ip tv and ip telephony And this should be for 95% of the inhabitants by 2020
