RAS - use modem driver (normal dial-up connection)
NDIS - use network adapter driver
Different ways to access the same physical device. Chose one which works the best.
Gaming on MTN Uncapped Lite - Throttled
Hi,
What sort of Ping's does one get on MTN Uncapped Lite, before you are capped, and do they change once you are capped. Are your Pings, the same regardless of whether you are capped or not.
Can anyone say if the 256kb/s you get capped to, is able to support a single CSS (Counter-Strike Source) connection to a local server?
Many thanks,

I think 256Kbps is not impressive (more like 100ms-200ms) to local servers.
If you aren't throttled though, surely your latency should be way better than that.
Unless they shape as well as throttle then pings shouldn't take a big dip. To be honest though, gaming on 3G of any kind is not a very pleasant experience unless you have perfect reception.
Well I get around 6-8MB/s downloads at current location ... , on MTN, how does that compare to "perfect reception"?Originally Posted by Loopin

Gaming needs a fairly stable ping, and the problem with 3G is that it does spike if you don't have very good reception.
You'll get fine ping to local servers but ultimately what matters is how often you spike and how bad those spikes are. The better your reception the less frequent and noticeable the spikes.
Ping for Local CS:S servers [gaming on MTN]
I have just recently purchased the MTN uncapped lite package and i chose the USB huawei method over the router.
Someone previously enquired about the latency/ping for gaming. I play competitive CS:S, I am the Captain of the 2nd nAv gaming squad. I usually use my uncapped 1mbps mweb connection to play resulting in about 20-30 ms latency. I played the whole of yesterday using my 3g stick from MTN and I received a pretty constant 100ms ping, it was entirely playable and a very enjoyable gaming session. I would recommend this product to any gamer who can't get his/her hands on a stable line or doesn't want to go through the missions of setting up a land line etc.
Oh yes, the main point of this reply, i got that 100ms ping [pretty constant too] with only 1 bar of reception [I stay in Glenwood, durban]. I can't imagine what the latency would be like with full reception.
Has anyone been throttled yet? If so, what is the latency like?
regards

Yes, the latency, it's good until you get throttled.
what is the latency like when throttled please?
bump
Check out other thread, apparently it's like 300ms to local servers.
A link to the thread please.

Hey guys, I got my router with mtn uncapped lite. Where do I check data left of the 3gb? Any complaints yet due to speed when throttel?
