I suppose I need to make my meaning plainer. I would greatly prefer a constant, relatively "good" delay as opposed to a really good connection that frequently and intermittently spikes and therefore fucks everyone up the moment they try to do something. For instance I'd rather play with a constant, reliable 3 bar than a 4 bar that spikes all the time.
Obviously, I would prefer simply not to play with people who have bad connections. I thought that was obvious from the start.
