Are 4g Internet Dongles Good Enough For Poker?
connected to my mums internet SKY currently by ethernet but the internet keeps dropping out, and definitely doesn't reconnect in time, has cost me lots money at the table dropping out in the middle of hands.
my mum seems adamant at keeping the internet she has, she has called them up and supposedly someone's coming out to put a better... cable in i dunno but i still dont trust sky there literally always been issues with it i got ethernet cable cause i thought was the wifi to the router.
but cant play poker really at all if internet casually drops out and im sacrificing pots, especially deepstacked.... its ****ing tilting, its both getting in the way of me playing or bothering moving up even if rolled.
If anyone has any advice as to how i can get online without having needing a wired broadband connection i greatly appreciate it before i top myself, i looked about at 4g dongles really i dont know how reliable they are but surely anything gotta be better than this nonsense, i was originally gonna try get virgin as theres line here i think or something and sky uses antenna then router wi-fi or something, but virgin could get broadband i think technically but cause my mums got what shes got it would interfere the cables or something i dunno i was gonna buy it separate as my mum got some sky tv bundle package locked in and she aint changing internet its a no go nor will she allow be to get my own separate router etc.
but i need to do something to try get online and play as its doing my head in feel very stuck, just ended a poker session cause i cut out dropped out a deep pot with trips, proceeded to dump 2 stacks after in poor play tilt once reconnected (btw 3 disconnects today and 12 past week...) its just not useable.
theres no making money if cant stay connected have worry about all profits of session or chunk of it vanishing merely cause poor internet.
Any advice appreciated
