Hi Guys,

Im looking at Amobia uncapped 2 or 3 meg special. Anyone playing on this or any other wireless provider?

ALso would I be able to use battleping or wow tunnels with it?

ANy feedback appreciated!
 
Havent used those ones, but generally wireless is not good for gaming. Latency tend to be higher and there is a large packet loss. WOW might be able to deal with it, but fps wont be fun. Imho i`d say defnitly try and get fixed line if gaming is a priority, even slower line speed should still give a better experience.....just my 2 cent...

Not true, no packet loss on our wireless links and maybe only a additional 2-3ms of added latency over traditional DSL, all depends on the provider.
 
No problem playing though wireless, it only depends on where you are and who`s your provider.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Could you elaborate what sort of latency you are recieving as well as your provider so I get get a feel what I need to look at.

Hi, latency? And were you playing on the EU servers?

EDIT: I see they dont supply CPT.
 
Imo the wireless you should avoid is the 3G/HSDPA/HSUPA abominations. Everything else, as far as I know, is good enough. I'm on some private network, which gives me 1mbps, with 45ms local and 220ms to Europe; fluctuating up to about 8ms(depends on quite a bit). It's perfect :)
Additionally iBurst does a horrible job too.
Though very expensive......

I would like to add iBurst to that list to avoid. Seriously bad for online gaming.
 
Spoke with Amobia and they were very unsure to put me on the uncapped package for gaming ...

Dont know If i should cancel my ADSL and go with them ...

Well, ask them if they have top-ups and how much they charge for it. The pricing isn't bad, but it you cannot increase your cap or it is too expensive it won't be worth it.
