I'm going to get a dedicated line for my laptop. Just bought a new thin one for travel (powerful enough to run battlefield 3, though) . It should arrive next week (good timing for pvp server). I haven't decided on a plan, yet. Leaning AT&T. Service in my area is excellent.

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 tethered to a Droid X on Verizon using PDAnet 3.02, got lucky enough to be grandfathered in to unlimited data but considering I used to play this on dial up it generally doesn't need more than 2-5kb/s.

Anybody connecting via a tethered iPhone? My wife's iPhone 4 is an early enough version to jail break and we both have unlimited plans. I was wondering if using a VPN would prevent them from seeing what you're using it for.

I play from my AT&T iPhone 4 with pdanet with no issues

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...

well i hit lev 30 on my bard and i went to OT, im strafe kiting and i start off with a 115ms and it seems fine, i can kite 30 + or more mobs and take them down to 25%, i never get get in the strafe.....then wham, im dead

i try to take a screen shot but it takes to long, i will be dead, the i see the 75 lines of hits i get, then loading...lol

im on a at&t 3G air card 5GB plan, i use the air card in a cradelpoint mbr1000 router
the speed i get on speedtest.net is 135ms ping 6.53 Mbps down and 1.07 Mbps up


any1 got any ideas?

EQ bandwidth is less than just about anything else. I played EQ on a 33.6k modem once upon a time. 3MB/hour sounds reasonable.

Also, know that you don't need to pay for tethering or a USB modem or anything if you have a properly compatible device (not sure if you're talking about phone data or the "computer oriented" data plans...). I have unlimited data on my android phone, and I just tether with Easytether Pro and get a great connection to P99.

I do the same exact thing with my android.
