Blockland and Mobile Broadband
MackTheHunter:
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.

Try it and tell us how it works.

Here's the problem: it costs my grandfather $35 for 5 GB of download/upload or whatever.
So trying to download and play Blockland on multiplayer with that thing will cost him about $100...
