I recently installed a Bell™ Canada Turbo Hub for my grandfather (he lives in a rural area where standard wired broadband isn't available), the way it works is that it's basically a big cell phone with internet usage only. It just connects to the computer and sends a longrange Wifi signal to a nearby cellphone tower and uses that to get internet. Out of complete curiosity, would it be possible to play a multiplayer game of Blockland with Mobile Broadband? Not that my grandpops is a hardcore gaming junkie, I was just curious as to if it would be possible or not, and how speeds would be with the Turbo Hub. |

So trying to download and play Blockland on multiplayer with that thing will cost him about $100... |
