Any-One using Cell C for WOW?

Stability?
Latency?

Thank you in advance.
 
unless you live in PE and now east london, I wouldnt advise it as CellC has no 3G network elsewhere. so it will be unplayable on Cellc outside those areas.
 
4G network just annouced for cape town......
Is the world conspiring against my trolling today :)
 
yes ,still nothing on my phone and yes my phone support 900 hsdpa network

I was with Cell C for 4 years. Cancelled thereafter. No way I'm going back no matter what they offer. Worst service I have ever received from any service provider.
 
How do you guys afford playing WoW on 3g/mobile?

Isn't it hellishly expensive? Also, what amount of BW do you spend on wow / TS / Skype on an average night?
 
180mb a night for icc 25,3 hours :( (its more if disable compression)(also depends on bosses, syndragosa and lk is the bandwitdh hoggers.)

R800 a month.

4mb and 4gig of wa cap is almost the same sadly lol(top up,not titan)

remember 3g is on sat3, so you pay for that :P

What he said. Hence I stopped playing for now. :(
 
I have played WoW on GPRS, GPRS+, Edge, 3G and HSDPA.

I have no problem playing with any of these but there is problems in what you can actually do depending on what type of connection you are playing on.
GPRS will give you a latency of about 1000 - 1200. With this you can quest, level and all the likes. But the higher you get the more latency dependent you become. BG's you can forget as a melee, Casters aint that bad since they added the cats bar a few years ago. Then as you start getting to Outlands and so on the dungeons become a little more latency dependent. Forget about going into NR with anything less than 3G. Also I have noticed that if you play on GPRS as an example turning down the graphics does help with the latency. (This boggels my mind but it does improve, give it a shot) Logically it doesn't make sense as the details are not scripted through the connection but it might have something to do with the machine having a little more resources to handle the data a bit faster I honestly have no idea)

Raids, forget about it unless you have HSDPA upwards. You will DC on every engadgement no questions asked :p

Yeah its really cheap to pay for though, it's like R69 for 3 months. Your latency becomes slightly better too.
