So,
I can't get fibre and ADSL is max 3mb down and 0.3mbs up!
I can't put into words how frustrating this is as a heavy internet user. DOOM took about 64hours CONSTANT to download. With new games generally over 25gb to download I simply cannot deal with having only 3mb internet.
So I managed to wangle a deal at Vodafone of 100GB 4G Data over 2 mobile Wifi devices for £40 a month total....I pay £28 a month with sky from my ADSL inc. Line rental.
Question is how viable is gaming on 4G assuming speeds of about 20mb/s down.
Also i'm unsure weather 100GB data is enough for total use as, in theory, I want this to take over my home broadband.
Usage probably is 3 or 4 hours gaming maybe 3 nights a week on average. PUBG / CSGO mainly.
We probably watch maybe 5 to 10 HD Films a month.
a Couple hours a day face book and a few smallish clips on youtube every day.
Then on top of that there is game downloads which probably average about 30GB a month.
It sounds do-able to me???
Obviously Latency is another concern but I have used 4G tethered to my laptop to play when away from home and it was very playable but havent tried it long term....
I get about 70ms on ADSL on CSGO and PUBG.
Thoughts?
