Does anyone play xbox live SUCCESSFULLY ...

I am gettin an elite tomorrow after months of xboxlessness, but i use mobile broadband now, i know it is possible to play using mobile broadband, but can you play it smoothly, how does mw2 run on it, i am with 3 mobile, any experiences will be greatlly appreciated :)Does anyone play xbox live SUCCESSFULLY ...
what is mobile broadband, never heard of itDoes anyone play xbox live SUCCESSFULLY ...
You'd lag a lot on fast paced games, the response time is too slow.Maybe some turn based games, but that's about it.
that is what i feared :( i have heard so many people say they use it but not what their gaming experience is like, i will have to try and connect to my landlords if he will let me, i would be gutted if i got an xbox after 4 months of not having one then not being able to take it online :(
just an update for anyone who searches this topic, i have been playing on xbox live using 3 mobile broadband, i have played about 15 hours online multiplayer on modern warfare 2 and i havn't lagged once, maybe i am just lucky but it is going good so far, my ping is a lil high but it doesn't affect my gameplay at all, ping sits at about 100, run a ping test via the 3 connect app, and see what your ping is, hope this helps someone :D

Yea, ''your'' gameplay is probably fine, but everyone else most likely sees you lagging across the screen.
I have a friend that uses it. He says that it plays pretty good most of the time except as mentioned in FPS games. He still plays them but does say he gets some lag that hinders him somewhat. Also I should point out that just yesterday he mentioned that MW2 plays far better than the two older ones over his service. He mentioned that he really hasn't had an issue with MW2 at all.

Ok, ok. I'm surprised by that. Do you ever get 4 bar connection on MW2? Just wondering.
I don't lag playing mw2, i usually have 3 bars, the only time i have lagged is playing special ops with a friend but thats sorted by resetting my internet, no one has complained i am lagging i am sure they would've by now, i'm sure some mobile broadband users do but i am lucky :)
