It will all depend on the speed of the mobile broardband you get and it's coverage.

Just to add onto what Rik said. The ping\latency will depend on the connection. Where abouts are you from? I've heard that in Scotland the connection with these mobile broadband dongles aren't as good as down south(England) and can sometimes be recieving speeds as low as 56k .
Your ping on wow will depend on the speed of the broadband connection that you recieve.
As far as provider goes I've always found Orange to give the best mobile network coverage so if I was to personally try it, I'd go with them.
Hope this helps...

It's true. The guy has 100% feedback too, so...
The problem is what's the peak and off peak rates?
