best wireless connection for games like dota

[ashie]

hi all

i am looking for good advice on which wireless connection to go for. From what i hear adsl is the best due to latency issues however i am not able to get adsl because it is not supplied in my area.Currently i am using a normal dialup how ever this is costly especialy for hours of online gaming and if you like to play all hours of the day.

Another question is if a had a freind in an adjascent area to me, who is able to get adsl and i am able to reach him via wifi connectivity what latency issues whould i have given that there are so much bad reveiws going around latency with wireless connectivity.

Thanks

are you going to be playing on local or international servers?

mainly local, what about wireless service providers like uninet and iburst.

well im on iburst, they had a few hiccups in their launch month, but they seem pretty good now. however, when playing on a wireless connection you have to do a lot of tweaking to get a decent ping. well, the games i play on iburst are starcraft(international server, runs perfect without tweaking), C&C Generals(international server, runs perfect without tweaking) and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory(local server, had to tweak to get ping below 300, ping is now at 50
