Re: Rogers Portable Calgary Review
Yes, location would be key, but we always have 'five bars' on the modem.
Also I've noticed that it's dropping the connection more frequently now (several times a week) and quite often service is out for several hours. The modem always needs to be reset as it won't recover gracefully.
As to gaming, older low-bandwidth games work *okay*. Wolf Enemy Territory and Battlefield 1942 will allow you to connect to close servers and ping in the low 100's, although it's still somewhat sketchy.
I played CoD4 but I imagine it's a higher bandwidth game like Enemy Territory Quake Wars or Battle Field 2 which aren't worth playing.
Of course, this type of connection isn't designed for hi-speed gaming but is functional (if you don't mind the frequent outages) and are only using it for basic web surfing and email. |
