For a multiplayer game, the connection speed is NOT important.
Much more important is the connection latency (the response time).
A multiplayer 1st person shooter means the fastest possible action in a multiplayer game.
So in this case, the connection latency is critical.
This game has been designed to work with a ping of 160ms or lower.
So you need to send/receive 6 messages per second.
Any connection sucker (including YouTube and messengers) will mess up your connection.
You won't be able to send/receive 6 messages per second anymore.
You'll start to send bursts of messages (you might act like a speedhacker).
You'll start to drop messages (you'll act like an immortal).
:wink:
