mobile broadband is shit usually.. it's for when you don't have any alternative internet i would say, or if you need something portable. someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but it's usually just the same as 3G

You wouldn't be able to do much gaming on it, as it's a pretty slow connection. Why are comcast or att not an option?

Cause I'm moving soon and don't want to get comcast until then.

I just rooted my mytouch4g and gunna try an app called barnicle tether.

You can tether using your phone or you can buy a mobile hotspot device or usb dongle, and buy credit from Verizon or Virgin Mobile, and use their wireless internet service but both have bandwidth limits. If you won't be gaming much before you get you regular internet then I'm sure it will be okay but I'd keep an eye on the data usage on your phone plan so you don't get charged fees for going over.

Even though Virgin gives you "unlimited data access" for $50 it says after 2.5 gb you might experience lower speeds. Verizon doesn't give you an "unlimited" option but the $50 option gives you 5 gb so it seems to be the better deal. The thing is you gotta buy a usb device to use these services which increases your costs by $79.99 or more.

also, online gaming will eat up your bandwidth limit like crazy so again... don't really think you can do much gaming on a mobile broadband connection. it's just not a good enough connection.

It dont matter who did what to who at this point. The fact is, we went to war. And now there aint no going back. It's what war is you know? Once you're in it, you're in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight!
