Mobile Broadband for Online Gaming

[Lucio]

Ok, so I've had to move into temporary accomadtion without internet access at home, and I'm thinking about using mobile broadband. My biggest concern is my primary useage is online gaming, and whether the connection will actually be suitable for that use.

Also, bandwidth, I have no idea how much I need, I know when games come out the patches will weigh in at a few hundred MB, but outside that, how much does a typical application such as WoW use??

Get ready for pings around 100ms

Deffo not gonna be able to play FPS games due to latency lag, RTS could not suffer as much...

if you can get a good strong signal near a cell tower you should be able to play mmorpg and some rts's. forget about playing fps's at all thought the ping are going to hover inbetween 100ms - 500 ms at the best of times

As said: ping.

^QFT, don't bother getting it for gaming TBH - ping will make most games unplayable and you'll constantly be getting kicked.

100ms +

It all depends on your ISP and where you are.

You can do it, but it won't work too great because of the latency, as mentioned previously.

That wasnt meant to be a thanks.

To be honest, this post to me amounts to nothing more than spam, you have added nothing to the conversation really apart from repeat what someoen else has said.
