minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•3 months agoIt’s crazy how many people equate Mbps latency. Broadband companies spread this lie that faster is better.

What if I want to play MariokartDS online with 8 of my friends on the same connection? My WEP router advertises 11 Mbps WiFi, I want to use the whole thing. ^/s
