Hey gerbils,
So I've been having issues with my ISP, comcrap, where I'm getting intermittent Internet outages. I've had a technician out several times and they're telling me that we just have a poor signal due to old or bad wiring to our house. Unfortunately I rent my house and the owner won't pay to upgrade the cables. I've looked in to getting DSL but that's not available in my area. The weird thing is that we had some warm weather last week and we had no Internet outrage during that time. Then it got cold and rainy and now the Internet drops every hour or so. It will come back on if I reset the modem, but as soon as there's any activity it goes back down.
I contacted my wireless provider and they say I can add tethering to my iPhone but doing so would cancel my unlimited data...which I'm not willing to give up. Another option is getting a 4g lte hotspot but it requires a 2 year commitment and it's limited to 5gb of data. If I do go for the Internet hotspot, do you think 4g lte has enough bandwidth for gaming? BF3 is what I'm playing now (when my Internet is actually working!) and I will be playing D3.
Let me know if you guys have any suggestions, thanks.
