eh your streamyx got usage quota?
for wireless broadband usage quota is the main prob when playing game. normal online game without any voip will take only like 30-50mb an hour only for me.
but dota2 can take 200mb-300mb per game. if the usage quota only 1gb then you can play only 3-4 games before getting a massive lag.
try find an unlimited usage quota wireless plan. me and my frens use maxis unlimited that cost rm300 a month. but we apply for multisims. so rm300/5 = rm60 a month per person la.

myself tried P1 Wimax, Maxis 3G Broadband, Celcom 3G Broadband and Screamyx.

Screamyx not bad, but srsly the others all wireless shit all failed. Attempt if you are dumb to think they can handle online gaming.

my area still dont have unifi, which baffles me since the shoplots beside my apartment all unifi ready. but stimix is already very very good for me. my wife can youtube all she wants, and i can play game without any noticeable lag like when i was with pee one.

last time i also same like you.. a student with big gaming desire but not much money.

last time, i use 3g broadband by celcom. quite good. play cabalsea, PKO, flyff, dragonica. i must say, your gaming experience will depend on the quality of the wireless broadband signal. if the signal is good, 4-5 bars, then most probably the game will be good.

last 2 years, i actually play using yes4g. damn fast.. but the quota also run out very fast. rm100 like half a month only haha

best advice looking at your budget, i think best if you can be patient a little bit. with your budget, quite hard to get decent speed. furthermore, nowdays broadband all crazy price..

however, if you can somehow test the reception signal at your own place, not at the shop or friend's house, and if the signal is good, you can try gamble on it. sometime our place are in the blind spot.. neighbour got reception, but not us.. scared become like this hehe

yup. the main point is testing it at your place, where you plan to game. maybe borrow your friend broadband and test it. umobile also got people say quite good. if got the funds, go for yes4g. used it nearlt 2 years and totally worth the amount i pay although on the pricier side.
