Wireless internet, which one has the best coverage/prices/connections?

Wireless 3G or 4G mobile broadband will have more latency than a DSL or cable connection, but would be better than satellite for gaming. A higher upload speed will also help to prevent lagging in online gaming.

The problem with a mobile broadband connection will be the monthly usage limits. Most cellular mobile broadband providers charge hefty overage fees when you exceed their 5GB or less monthly limits.

Even Cricket which advertises unlimited mobile broadband will throttle your Internet speed to a crawl if you exceed 5 GB of bandwidth in a month. Just read the Cricket fair usage policy. http://www.mycricket.com/fairuse

No one really offers unlimited Internet,but most cable and DSL providers won't bother you unless you consistently download extreme amounts of data. Cellular mobile broadband is not intended to replace broadband DSL and Cable internet services which usually have fair usage limits of 150GB per month or more.

Mobile broadband is intended for travelers and business people to get on the Internet when they're away from home, it was not intended for heavy download usage.

If you can't get DSL or cable in your area, and need more monthly bandwidth, it only leaves a couple of other options. They are Satellite Internet or a T1 line, both are expensive and relatively slow given their high cost. A 1.5 Mbps T1 connection costs a minimum of $250 a month.

You could continue to check for broadband providers in your area. Go to a ISP comparison site that lets you input your address, http://isp1.us/find/ and compare the pricing and terms of the offers that are available in your area.

The physical address is needed because some services, particularly DSL are very distance sensitive. For example you might be able to get a specific level of service while your next door neighbor can't.

FYI: Online gaming lag can be caused by two things, latency and upload speed.

Latency is the delay (ping time) that it takes the signal to travel to the server and back. Generally cable Internet and fiber ADSL2+ connections have the lowest latency.

Upload speed also plays a factor in updating your player position data to the gaming server. Slow upload speeds can cause your online game to lag.

Good Luck...

Nope. A wireless connection from a cell phone company is not a good reliable internet connection for online gaming. It will lag when you play games. Speeds tend to drop for Internet from a wireless cell phone provider The majority of them do have a data cap and there is no unlimited internet. You need a constant and fast internet speed for online gaming.

I would look around for dsl or cable internet around your area. Check with your home phone provider or cable company for broadband internet. This works much better for online gaming.
