In my opinion, it's a superior method. (Destiny)

I play on a cell tether much of the time, where I get about 10 megabits down, 2 up, 50ms ping which is good enough most of the time.

Playing with Narcogen in Kazakhstan before he got his fiber internet was actually usable with a half second ping, but I can't play Borderlands on coop with a dude two houses down, and Halo is laggy to the point of being unusable for me.

Destiny, though in maybe 1/10 games I lag to the point of it getting as bad as you say, at least I can DO STUFF.

And, when I'm not using a cell tether, I like playing with Banana and Up North and those guys still. If, to me, one of the games in an hour has frustrating lag, it's a small price to pay to play with my friends and have the team be effective.
