Pretty much what I'm doing now. Hopefully when I move soon it won't be an issue for me anymore. That said, no one's going to move just to play a game, and a good portion of people probably won't play a game if they have to pay extra just to not lag at it. It's not a huge issue for me simply because WTFast makes it tolerable. . .except around 8PM, when it goes to crap even through the VPN. That said, I'm not doing any endgame or anything, so it's not like there's huge pressure, but it's still frustrating to know that I could be doing better if the machines would let me.

What did annoy me was your comment to just get better internet. To the best of my knowledge, I've never lived anywhere that's had more than one provider, and I've moved around a lot the last few years. Frankly, a lot of the US is dealing with what's essentially a localized monopoly, so even if the local option offers good speeds it's probably not cheap. Don't tell people to just get better internet when that may just not be a feasible option at all.
