Hello all, im mainly a lurker on these forums, having posted only a couple of times before. Ive recently run into abit of a problem finding an answer to a question, and so i ask the masses of this fine forum for help.
My life was reasonably simple, working.. playing starcraft.. sleeping. But its all come under enemy fire now with the advent of a new job. Ill be taking a job in rural Australia (near Karratha, in WA incase it matters) where ill be living in a cabin and basically working 10 hour days, for 4 weeks at a time. If i cant play Starcraft during this time ill surely kill myself, even just trying to get through the first 4 weeks.
So ive been using my phones mobile internet to play SC2 anyway, because i just moved houses a couple of times and having my phone able to give my PC the internet 100% of the time has been a massively handy thing. Im with Telstra, and the speed has been quite good. Ive heard that mobile broadbands speed drops off in rural areas though, so im quite scared of the potential situation. Im just wondering:
Has anybody used their phones mobile internet (telstra preferably) to play in these kinds of rural areas, or has anybody investigated different mobile options such as a satellite connection.
I really need a form of mobile internet that will be able to provide speeds enough to play Sc2 on SEA (NA + KR if possible too) from anywhere in Aus. If anybody has any help itd be greatly appreciated.
