It's an online game. You can't play the game with outdated assets. <br>
You'd not see walls where other players would, for example.<br>
<br>
What you're suggesting is the ability of ISPs to market Internet access <br>
at a certain speed but not have to deliver it based on conditions they <br>
create.<br>
