Anyone know how 3G HSDPA will handle online games?

I am thinking of MMO's like Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest, WoW etc...
 
I used 60MB per hour playing UT99 last mont, that would have been chargeable at 60X2(uploading - downloading) 120XR2 per meg so its R240 per hour.

Somehow I doubt you'd be able to afford it...

:)
 
Been using it now for 3 months - had to upgrade to a 2Gig package, but so far an intense weekend of gaming (for 2 persons sharing a connection via a router) comes to about 500 MB.

Speed is great.
Latency - i have not noticed any so far...

Cost is about R600 per month.

I would recommend it above wireless any day
 
Can only comment on latency in wow.

Vodacom Hsdpa is sucking big time, with latencys hitting around 2500ms on a normal night.
MTN on the other hand gives good latency around 350 - 500...dipping to under 300ms on late nights, Yea a green connection.(better then most adsl latencys I've seen)
