So fine for torrenting crappy for gaming?

  I'm annoyed that gaming is defined solely as multi-player FPS twitch games. Astronauts / colonists into chess, go, poker, real role playing games, pretty much anything that happens in a casino, single player of any sort, wouldn't really notice.

    Besides, the speeds mentioned here would be more than enough for multi-player twitch FPS too.

      A game like an FPS doesn't need much speed (they can work with modem-level bitrate). They instead depend on having low latency, or ping time. Since the moon is so far away, it takes a signal 1.3 seconds to travel to or from it.

      One speed interferes with multi-player twitch FPS here, and it's not the bandwidth - it's the speed of light. Try playing an FPS with 2+ seconds of lag and it'll be very, very unpleasant.

    Also once this is a real problem, hopefully there'll be enough people up there to fill up their own Battlefield servers with just moon players.
