hey, ive had cable for almost two years now and been hosting games for most of that time and it rawks! but, the ping that someone has shouldnt have anything to do with the ping that others on your server have!!!!! I know, its apparent that high pingers DO cause others on my server to have higher ping, but this is the fault of the netcode and/or server settings that need to be adjusted. There is no logical reason for a server to behave like that. servers all over the world handle requests from connections of all varieties and they dont go freakin nuts when someone dials in.......
for now, we must restrict the high pingers, but we should be angry about that. these are gamers like us!! instead of screaming at them when they try to join in the game, we should lobby 2015, EA and ID to give us some pointers on inporving the netcode/server performance of our servers!!!
get smart....banning high pingers is a hack method of solving this problem.
