Anyone play on mobile broadband?

[maahes]

I have unlimited plan with Sprint. Which some day they will take away, but this plan is still available to new customers.

When I am at work or on the move I use USB or WiFi tether to play. 3 MB to 5 MB per hour is about what I see.

Grandfathered unlimited Verizon account, my main line is my Thunderbolt on the Los Angeles 4G netword so its usually rock solid, I run tethered off it (No its not paid tethering, custom ROM) 15+ MBs down / 5-8 MBs up on average.

I run torrents off the same line on occasion, ive managed 120 GB down this month and no issues with verizon. I also have 6 4g Lines on my account, been a customer over 10 years, and i change the device ID regularly so I imagine their not about to bitch about anything soon.

I have the original droid and tether using the program "PDAnet", everyday. I use it to play P99, wow, and other mmos all the time. I'd be lost with out it actually haha, but it runs fine on 3g network.

Same exactly, but I use the HTC droid. Love PDAnet except I can't seem to use VPNs with it...

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.

I have tethered off my phone just fine and played eq. Did this while on a bus as well.

When I was still playing WoW, there was a period where I was without internets and went into withdrawels and managed to figure out how to tether my iphone (AT&T) to my comp. Needless to say, I was able to box THREE accounts (my own +2 friend's) in Alterac Valley just fine. It was some period where the battlegrounds where giving some stupid amount of experience per game played, just had to take advantage! We were all taking turns boxing them to get as many level 80's as we could while it lasted.

Anyways, tethering is more than enough internetz for EQ!

Just remember EQ uses UDP. So make sure the app doesn't just support TCP.
