I mean, that also works...  I seem to remember the Scandinavian guys doing that a bit - probably helped that they were on 100M fibre while we were still stuck on rubbish dial up.

On that note I just unlocked another random memory - having to hang up and re-dial a few times before Quake matches until you got on a decent modem rack... because the extra 500 baud would definitely improve *my* quake.
