At the very heart of this was the company’s commitment to broadband and the speed it would bring to network gaming. “It’s gonna be fast because it’s gonna be broadband,” trumpeted Bach.

And to some extent so did Sony's. Although combining a dial up adapter into the broadband add-on is a good step, it is still problematic considering game makers would be forced to choose on whether to write games for dial up or broadband connections, and almost inevitably, they will probably write to the lowest common denominator to reach the most people.
