Anyone else playing FFXI via a tethered/hotspot smartphone? I know the unlimited data plan runs smoothly but, does anyone know how it runs when the unlimited runs out?
speed wise the game was made for people with 56k modems to be able to play. the only issue with using a mobile connection like that is your hotspot isn't the router, the tower is, and that combined with the QoS most mobile network use will cause latency issues. your ping will jump randomly, and during heavier traffic periods you'll experience packet drops.
