By all accounts, Cyan actually has a relatively indifferent internet connection at the best of times. MOULa isn't hosted on Cyan premises (although some ancillary support services may be) - it's on Amazon servers, so bandwidth costs are amortized across the Amazon user base on a near pro-rata basis. If the idea of net neutrality disappeared (and remember that's largely the case for most ISPs anyway since they tend to shove things into priority queues depending on how much interactivity the traffic type requires), I guess cloud hosts like Amazon might choose to bin traffic into cost tiers. But, downloads aside, MOUL doesn't actually need a whole lot of bandwidth for regular gameplay - for each player, much of the time it's almost down at a level supportable on dial-up.
