Amobia

[foX2delta]

I live in Somerset West, Cape Town and am looking at getting connected,

I'm currently looking at Amobia for this, my concerns are;

Can i game with it? I play COD W@W on phone's 3G connection and i have a ping at 400ms and higher, still playable but most servers are for low ping.'

Does anyone have any experiance with there service quality in terms of speed and lat's?

Do you suggest i go for a grid instead of the antena?

Or is there someone else i sould look at?
P.s. No 12/24 month contracts i need month to month.
I'm looking at the 1gig/2Mbps package from amobia and i'm praying when SEACOM gets here the CAP will increase 5 to 10 fold.
I'd be connecting to there helderberg site (amobia)

a grid is a type of antenna.

generally pings on wireless isps isnt great.

I would agree they arent the same as fixed line, but can i still game on it.
Yeah i know they are one in the same, but is a grid antena better than a multi directional stick type?

for gaming i would recommend getting adsl

for a client connect get a directional antenna

I use Amobia and I get pings of 50-55 on local servers. Anything under 80 ms pings is good for playing Call of Duty. I can personally recommend Amobia. Get the cheapest antenna, either will work fine.

They came by, and suggested a grid becuase i'm pretty far, away so thats 700 more.
