Moving and being forced towards iburst

[crackersa]

well, i'm moving at the end of the month and there's no infrastructure for ADSL in the area. is iburst ok to play swtor and WoW? or am i going to end up throwing my monitor out the window? network map coverage says fair, but i know not to believe that so i am going to borrow a friends modem to test the signals.

YMMV, but I've found the coverage map to be very conservative. I'm in a "poor" coverage area (up to 50kbps according to the map), I got 300kbps indoors without an antenna. After installing an omni on my roof it went up to 1Mbps.

WoW is ok until you want to raid or large pvp - then it starts to get laggy. (also in the major cities can get unplayable laggy at peak times)

If you want to play WoW on iBurst, you'll need to get Smoothping. Usually around 250ms - 350ms then. Without it, latency is around 500-700ms.

Omni won't do you much good if you're connected to an overloaded base station.
