[HELP] Dialog 4G or Mobitel 4g Dongle
« on: June 03, 2015, 08:43:23 am »
I am relatively new to DOTA 2 and I'm getting Diablo 3 ROS, a fixed line is more like a second solution, but is it possible to have a consistent connection where I don't get disconnected while playing either on a dongle? If so which do I get? I am in Pitakotte if that helps

Hey,

I am by no means an expert on this area. However I'd just like to point out that even if you do get a constant connection, a Dongle is not suitable for online Gaming (Due to higher pings compared to a fixed connection)

Apparently, even using Dialog 4G Fixed connection with a router has better pings than using 4G With a Dongle (Not sure why, maybe a Router is just stronger than a dongle?)

Since you're looking for a dongle, I'm guessing you're looking for portability? In that case why not go for a Dialog 4G Fixed connection. If you call them they will come and test your connection before you actually purchase it (If I recall correctly, they even gave a test router for a day for you to check out the connection, although I'm not sure if they still do this.)

Just my 2 Cents :)

Thanks man, I applied for their trial, if the speeds and ping are fine I'll get the 60GB package, waiting on their technical staff now.

Dialog's pretty good on a Hotspot through my smartphone, got a high of 840KB/PS and a low of 290KB/PS on Steam, I assume the 4G router will have better speeds. They said they wont disclose as to how much bandwidth you get with the 7 day trial, still better than paying for and not having a good connection.

From early test results in another thread, Dialog 4G users got around 10-50 higher ping compared to SLT Users (Which isn't all too bad)

But both of those services providers offer roughly the same amount of GBs for same amount of price tag right?  ???

Dialog has better CS, connection is stable

Had a peak of 1002 KB/S after this was taken. Wish they had bigger cheaper plans

Probably was talking about the Peak/off-peak difference.
