Re: Thinking of dumping the Cable

1. ExpressCards and PCMCIA cards get fairly hot when in use for long times...

2. Data caps where unlimited really means only 5-8 GB (depending on carrier).

Just some things to think about.

The speed should be in-line from what you'd expect w/ a slower DSL connection; comparatively speaking. The latency is really what kills you (not the speed) w/ gaming. The latency will be better than satellite internet but nowhere as good as a 'wired' connection.

My suggestion is to try it out for a week or two before canceling your current broadband internet.
