Angel Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ok. So if you know me, you know that I have the shittiest, laggiest internet in all of HG, and anyone else that you have ever come across on the internet. lol I've finally decided to get me some new internet, but seeing as how my parents won't let me get wired internet cos they're fucktards, I'm going to be buying a Mobile Broadband deal [in Australia]. This is what I've found and am probably going to get; this company has great internet speeds, a lot of awards, etc: http://www.tpg.com.au/mobilebroadband/plans.php I'm going to the max with what I can get, so I'll be getting the Go 9GB at $34.99 with the TPG Modem & SIM (the $49.99 modem there). The speeds look pretty damn decent for Mobile Broadband, and are a shitload better than what I'm working with now. And I inputted my address in to see what speeds are available for me and I can get the max. So for you internet/techie guys, let me know what you think ASAP please; I'll probably be ordering this within the next 24 hours or so.

enigma# Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 wait do you plan to game on this or just surf the web? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) wait do you plan to game on this or just surf the web? Yep, gaming. These are the internet speeds that I'm using/gaming with atm and have been for a long time: Home internet: iPhone 4 3G internet: I hate you all, yet I still own you all. I average around 350 ping on all HG/American servers. Both internets are also not stable; I can get huge ping spikes to like 1k+ several times an hour, maybe even a dc.

ExGBrian Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Why are you even using mobile broadband in the first place? Also you should look for ratings/reviews on the carrier you never know if they cap you or not or not give you what you payed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the OP before you post. Also you should look for ratings/reviews on the carrier you never know if they cap you or not or not give you what you payed for. Already looked into.

Guy With The Face Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just make sure you don't have a data limit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Moreover Angel Descends, you might want to do a simple inventory of what you do a month to ensure that you never bypass 9 GB. Source-based games take about 35 MB/hour (which is really low if you don't play much) but I don't know what else you'll be doing. Always helps to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source-based games take about 35 MB/hour (which is really low if you don't play much) but I don't know what else you'll be doing. Always helps to check Well my iPhone 4 makes a record of the uploads and downloads which I check everyday/every few hours CS:S and Gmod take about 100MB an hour or a bit less. SWTOR takes up about 20MB or a TINY bit more for a few hours. TS3 uses up a lot more internet than SWTOR believe it or not, like more than double the data lol. I've been playing SWTOR for several hours a day at least for 3 weeks now, and I haven't passed the 1GB mark out of the 2GB on my iPhone 4, so that's pretty damn good. Then add TS3 data to that and I probably would get about double or more data downloaded and uploaded (uploads are hella tiny), if I was on TS3 the whole time that I would be playing, which I will be doing when I get new internet. Other than gaming, I would just do some simple surfing like Facebook, HG Forums, HG Tinychat, a few YouTube videos here and there a week, check emails, etc. So I'm definitely safe for usage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
