Ip5 hotspot for xbox live??

[Tobias Funke]

Anybody use there iPhone5 hotspot to play xbox live?

Problems? Will it work?

I am thinking about this because it looks like upload speeds are faster on mobile network than my home network!

Also make full use of unlimited data!

I wouldn't even recommend using Wi-Fi if you're remotely serious about gaming.

The problem with using cellular data for games is that there's much more latency involved, not only making your game experience worse, but everyone else's too.

If you have no other option to get online for an hour, it'll be ok - it definitely does work.

In any other scenario, use your home internet connection. The experience is almost certain to be better.

It will be Sloooooooow...you will lag, and your data usage will explode

It'll work fine for a little bit. Not a permanent solution though.

I used to play COD using a TMobile G2 on their '4g' network. Sometimes it would work for 2+hours, other times it would lag me into oblivion.

My friend used it for PS3 and it was fine, though the ping can fluctuate a bit.

I agree that's it's not a good permanent solution. I played Call of Duty MW2 on PS3 with the hotspot connection from T-Mobile 4G with my HTC Sensation back in the day and sometimes it worked great, other times it was too laggy to stomach. I only used it if the Time Warner internet was down for some reason.
