Telkom LTE Gaming

[dupj001]

Hi Guys, Telkom delivered a pamphlet in my area (Weltevreden Park) claiming their LTE offering can give me 85mbps. Now I know that is absolutely max, but how does it actually perform? Also I liked the do gaming add-on with ADSL because it gives me unlimited downloads from steam, battle-net etc. (Even though it takes 4 days to download Wolfenstein at 2mbps). Is that still available with LTE?

Thanks!

If you want to do serious gaming.. stick with ADSL.

LTE is fast, but the latency is very inconsistent.

So LTE is fine for for some light hearted and humorous gaming?

LTE pings are substantially lower than 3G.

To answer OP's question, no, you cannot get the do gaming addon on LTE. That is only for ADSL. Mobile data is nice for download speed, but above 10 to 20 gig it becomes really expensive compared to ADSL.
