Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Nice work!
Just curious, through your time using the cell phone as a broad band receiver have you ever gotten dropped connections and connection lower then 100kps constantly? (red bar in halo3)
I'm wondering because atm i'm running my XBL connection through radio right now.
Yes radio like a car radio but at a high frequency. I have my radio receiver and white box (kinda like a modem but it changes the data into something a radio can transfer,) hooked to my 360 sending data to my brothers house in the city where he has a 7 mb/s connection allowing both of us to use it. But anyways, i'm wondering if this is a better option because i frequently get drop outs, and i guess u can call it lag because my connection goes up and down mattering the interference at the time.
(PS the radio signal travel just about i'd say 10 miles to the small city and the radio isn't on a tower its just on the roof of my house. so it isn't the best.)
So would u say the cell phone plan is better? And how much would the phone cost with the plan roughly? because atm i'm paying just about 35 bucks a month to my brother and the equipment costed right around 300 bucks...but that was 2 years ago...
anyways, thanks and i hope u reply with an email or a post.

Holy shit! You're using a radio signal to transx and recx data for your internet/XBL?! I thought what I was doing is hardcore, but you're taking it to a level I hadn't even thought of...

What frequency are you using? What are your dwnld, upload speeds? Do you experience alot of packet loss and ping delays?

To answer your question, I do get lag. Until my area goes 3G (this month), which won't effect price for plans, but will provide a tremendous boost in speed, I will continue to stay in yellow on XBL sessions, and sometimes red. The plan is $40 a month, unlimited data. The phone itself is free on Newegg.com (with a 2yr agreement, of course). If you're in/close to a metropolitan area that has 3G, it may be worth it. If not, stick with what you've got.
