Hello everyone,

I'm currently subscribed to a Wireless ISP, namely Webbit. Many of you might know that Webbit is wireless. And with wireless, of course, there's high ping and all that stuff I assume that's bad for gaming. My question is, is there a specific reason as to why wireless can't handle online gaming (well) ? I need a decently detailed explanation, as I need to use it as proof to my dad that we should get a wired internet connection.

If you'd like to know, I'm using TimeNet's Webbit and I am trying to get TMNet's Streamyx. These should sound familiar if you live in Malaysia.

Also, TMNet's currently having an offer now and I can save around RM100 if I can get him to change his mind before 31st July.

Thanks a bunch,
~Leto Kynes
