Is this any good for play games on? do you get good pings (no loss, choke, etc)?
Sounds good but probably too good to be true.

A friend signed up for this and has to use his laptop by an upstairs window to get any signal at all! I would recommend anyone considering this as their main connection should find a freind with a "3" phone first and ask them to walk about the house to check signal strengths before signing on the dotted line.

i'm currently signed up to the ?5/month broadband with three which is supposed to be only used on the mobile but it seems u can get away with a small amount of usage via the laptop as well using bluetooth. I'm considering upping it to the ?10/month so I can use it on the laptop without worrying (as they charge about ?1/MB). Especially since i'll be on the move a lot more.

The signal is decent enough tbh (NW Sheffield), I suppose its only really considerable if you're in a major city with a decent signal throughout. I've been with three for about 3 years now,they have their problems, but they work for the most part.
