One other networking point that needs to be brought up too (Destiny)

The truth of the matter is that online video games do their best to accommodate the average connection more than the best connection. It can be frustrating when you have a great connection because you'll experience other people's problems and "know" its not you, but the way the networking is setup provides a good experience for the majority of players instead of an experience that gives the players with the best connections a huge advantage (though an advantage does still exist to a certain degree).
