Things began to change when a good friend of mine who works with a british telecoms firm showed up on our fine shores on vacation. Determined to satisfy his hunger for GEARS OF WAR, he proceeded to do the dirty work of playing roulette for me, but had one key advantage- knowledge of the systems used by these providers. Without giving too much away, he was able to confirm that certain providers are able to deliver latency below 300ms. While this is not amazing in the global sense of things, it is a major step forward for us here: Many games are playable at this level. He decided to test his theory out, and proceeded to set himself up with a low-cost package from one of said providers.
Of course, the rest is history!
I’m glad to say that on testing out the MTN 3G prepaid package, I was able to get latency figures similar to what he reported, and proceeded to set things up to allow my playstation to connect to the free playstation network. I then proceeded to test three games (Soulcalibur 4, Streetfighter 4 and Resident evil 5) and my findings are reported on the next page!
