<br> That should also apply in general to the number of routing devices the
<br> link has to traverse, and general distance. So same city would be better,
<br> same ISP in the same city wold probably be better still. Best would be
<br> same building connecting through a single building Ethernet switch.

<br> I watched that Doobie Brothers performance originally mentioned, and I
<br> don't think that was live. That is one possibility if you don't mind,
<br> have one person start a session then pass it around, everyone adds their
<br> part. Not as enjoyable as performing together with other people, but
<br> probably results in a better quality performance overall.
