Wireless internet and online gaming

Kornered · 03-03-2008, 03:37 PM

I will be moving to a small town up north and this may be my only "high speed" internet solution:
Vianet Internet Solutions : Muskoka/Parry Sound Residential Wireless

I was wondering what kind of pings to expect while playing online games such as TF2. Will it be playable at all?

Just because it is wireless does not mean it will be bad, although all things created equal, I would expect you to take a small hit. Since this seems to be the only broadband option available to you, you may have to take it. Of course, you can always send them an email and ask.
