Obviously the hops on the player's side will still be there, but this can cut out extra hops on the server end. Often times this will be very expensive-- if you wanted to keep the server at home, it could be hundreds of dollars a month! Services like [http://lightfoot.dashjr.org ~~Luke's~~ Lightfoot Armagetron hosting] allow you to run your server on a low latency business-class connection in a server datacenter for a very small fraction of the price, often less than 10% of what a T1 would cost even for a 32-slot server.
