I've think to buy SC2 but I'm living outside now and using digi broadband right now.

Try to ping some local servers and see if the average latency falls below 100ms. If it does for a long period, I'd say you're good to go

The upload and download wont be much, but the main thing is ping.
Dont expect much from a wireless connection. Might be very laggy. |

Used my digi smart plan (with the HTC phone package), it was okay, not too lag, but it did get disconnected once mid-game. But I stay in a location where digi is quite weak, so go figure... ^^;;

Unless you like laggy games and dc often. |

Sometimes I'll use my Nokia phone as a 3g modem and play SC2 with DiGi (im in PJ so there's HSDPA coverage). Ping time averages 190-230. It can get laggy once a while, but most of the time it's fine

I can BFBC2 and TF2 fine with it I don't see why you can't play SC2. Just don't expect pings like a fixed line network. At best you'll hover around the 100ms region.

It doesn't lag, but it just spikes a lot. It wont spike as much if you're not the host of the game. Streamyx is still the best so far AFAIK.
