Default Anyone play on mobile broadband?

There aren't any unlimited mobile broadband plans. Anyone have any idea how much bandwidth it would eat an hour to play p99 (roughly, obviously). Looks like plans are either 5GB or 10 Gb that I would get (no overages possible).

Just curious how many hours that might net me a month. Typically, Id only use it for playing EQ. I can get almost everything else from my phone.

Also, any idea on streaming videos/movies ?

It looks like they push these plans for simple tasks only, which I can do from my phone.

Completely anecdotal and may be,completely wrong:

I remember EQ wanting 3MB an hour, so if you have 5 gigs a month you could stay logged in 24/7

I've got 4G unlimited plan through Verizon and use it all the time.

yes there are those that lost their 4G plan when upgrading to the new 4G phones from 3G.

Luckily I was not one of those people [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My plan is to get one of the mobile broadband plans.

I might also get a new sleek laptop. I was going to buy a desktop, but my current laptop is too big for travel and my netbook is junk. Big mistake to purchase. It serves it's purpose, but I never use it.

I'm out in the country, so i used to use ntelos which i got into before they had a limit, only was able to get 1 meg down sporadically due to trees n shit in the way but it held out alright, i suppose it would probably work a lot better in a clearer area. Thing is, whenever i lost 2 pings in a row = disconnection, which got a little frustrating, luckily there are other options rather than satellite now where i live so thats a thing of the past.

I use AT&T on my ferry rides inbetween cities and it's awesome. Only time I've lost service is when I'm out in a 30 mile wide channel or something.

i play using virgin mobile wireless broadband unlimited data (5gig cap then slows after that)

it has good days and bad days,

i ping usually around 200ms, wouldnt trust it kiting, but it works

i can box 9 chars on peq without problems unless its super cloudy out , otherwise they wouldn't all load and i'd get droped zoning.

but i live 2 miles off a paved road with the nearest neighbor ....1 mile away
which means no land line or cable, so this gets me by....


oh, and i do go over the 5 gigs, but not by much...
