Could Be No PC Gaming For A While :(

Well you do keep on...

Repetition in hope of justification. This isn't bragging - it's shock.

How much does the average cargo container cost these days anyway?

Well you do keep on mentionaing how much that steel box cost.

He's not the OP

Your time as an upper-class ***** shouldn't be spent PC gaming anyway

 

[j6m]

upper-class *****

The reference to an 'old man' indicates a certain youthful exuberance. A pikelet, if you will.

I've done 3 months on a dongle. It was bloody expensive, and not watching videos or downloading any sizeable files was so frustrating. Signal was a bit dodgy at times, but nothing terrible.

Couldn't have you just rented a house on a 6 month contract rather than getting an overpriced caravan?

There is Openzone/fon, but don't you have to be signed up for it? Am on BT internet here, but think I disabled BTfon?!

you can do pay as you go for BT Fon you dont have to join anything

3g, HSDPA or HSPA+ connections are absolutely fine for gaming in my experience, I've played CoD4 on it in the past with a ping of +-70ms, back when I was on 3g UMTS because of ISP change and no net for a week...

Of course the coverage has to be okay, if it is though, your only worry is your data limit.

with a ping of +-70ms

~70ms, surely? Because ± would imply that half of your packets travelled back in time.

I can get 2gb tether allowance on my contract. Obviously this rules out any decent size downloads, but is that ok for playing online? Aka Diablo 3?

 

[j6m]

Assuming we're talking 2,000,000,000 bytes here that's ~65MiB per day. What happens if you exceed it?

 

[NeoReloaded]

Would probably get charged a fortune

 

[j6m]

Any news on the FON front?

Hey guys so the big move is tommorow into our homely caravan and in it my iPhone 4s has 3g signal 95% of the time although only 2 bars which loads everything just as fast as the full 5 bar signal and the other 5% it drops into full gprs signal (bleh). My contract allows 2gb a month which is not a lot, but it will allow me to use online drm to activate Max Payne 3 right? Right?
