    Hi all,

    I'm moving house soon and will only have mobile BB, will it be possible to connect to Live using this?

    I know the ping will need to be below 100 ideally but I'm just wondering if anyone already uses mobile bb.

    Thanks,
    SEORG

    I use it every day and have no problems. Downloading is awful slow, though

    The ping is what could make are break ye!If your lucky enough to be relatively near to a mast/Basestation you'll be ok.

    Is it possible to try before you buy?

    Most providers (Vodafone/3 definitely) give you a week's trial, and after that you're free to take it or leave it.

    My Boyfriend uses the Meteor one for Xbox and it works really well!

    Mobile broadband is fairly unreliable and one location can be totally different in performance from another. Having said that I have 3 broadband and have had no problems with online gaming so far. Only problem is that (and not really gaming related) is that it can randomly cut out at any stage for no reason at all.
