8ta capped 3G vs Amobia uncapped 2m line

[teamed209]

Hi Guys

As the name suggests, I'm looking at either of the options above.

My priority is gaming & streaming with downloading being a secondary.

Considering either the 8ta 15+15 month to month plan with a usb modem plugged into my router. Will be playing games like Fifa & CoD on a casual basis (ie after work and wkends), Low to Moderate downloading (20 gigs a month) & general surfing with some streaming. The other option is an Amobia Wisp 2mb uncapped line.

Which is going to get me the best results for gaming? I was leaning towards the 3G option but I don't seem to get the best signal indoors at my house when using my work laptops 3G or my cell so not looking more at Amobia.

Any help is appreciated as I have no experience with either of these products, can't get ADSL due to exchange restrictions.

Thanks for the info bud, quick one do you play games online with either of them?

And if so which is better suited to it? Your Amobia usage looks quite low compared to what I will be putting through ie 20 gigs downloads plus online gaming usage
