First, I'm all for a compromise, allow it to be disabled entirely to allow the server hit to be lowered. Second, not everyone can just magically "upgrade" their internet, I live rural and I'm lucky to have high speed at all, even if it's no better than dial up. As for the impact, at least on my connection I've tried to run third party programs as well and it just wont, you argue to not have people on consoles penalized for voice chat, I argue to not punish people on bad internet that they cannot upgrade further because of a lack of infrastructure to not be penalized either, so, you have an in game compromise, try a real world one too.
