	Assuming all your minecraft friends live in the same pod's aggregate area and are at the same mobile carrier/ISP...* 
	I am glad they are focussing on lower latency over bulk thoughput for sure, but I fail to see any sound business strategy behind such demonstrators. Personally I would never ever play on game servers housed and operated by my ISP (and I like my ISP) but I will not put all of my digital eggs in one basket (I use different companies for fixed and mobile internet access for the same reason).



*) Otherwise you are typically better off trying to locate the server where it has roughly the same RTT to all players.
