While Sony is offering dedicated servers with absolutely no lag (unless the player has a really bad connection, but that wouldn't be sony's fault) for free.
No. Live is $50 per year, regardless if it's your first year or fifth.
It's Sony who uses the P2P model for gaming, Microsoft uses dedicated servers for everything including multi-player, you just have your facts mixed up.
In my experience Live is far faster downloading demos, ect off of marketplace whereas PSN has been anything but speedy. This is just my experience, but seems to be indicative of what most people experience. And don't think about claiming "it's my connection" as I have done everything to properly configure the router, and it's only with PS3 that I experience slow browsing/downloading. Again, this is just my experience and PSN has gotten faster, but it still can't compare to live for speed or online play.
