What about shared connections? Is it resonable for all your flatmates/family to totally stop using the Internet while one person is playing games. In fact, one of the reasons they are not using the JetStream Games Realm (other then the desire to be able to use servers not in the 'Realm') may be because the family/flat mates want to use the Internet.

I'm not denying that based on what you're saying, the change was for the better. I am wondering if there is an alternative or something so that ISPs can make JetStream Starter slightly usable. Due it's it's speed, it will never be really usable of course...
