My guess would be not, but I may be wrong.

Just a thought though, if you're planning on using it for online gaming, I'd steer clear of it. From what I've heard, the cellular broadband network probably wouldn't be stable enough for it. A landline based broadband connection would be more suitable for that.

to be honest, it can be bad at times, but i can get a stable connection of 750kb - 2mb connection of which i am happy with (bolton/manchester area) so i feel it would do the job

what is the latency like? I'm guessing that maybe a problem. Unfortunately I don't have any help with regards to your problem us I'm unfamilar with the PS3 setup.

Do you know how to do it with two computers? You connect the two via a cross over cable, and start internet connection wizard.

my latency is very good about 30 - 100ping which i find fine, i have played CSS on pc with a 44 latency and use ventrilo at same time with a 40 latency too thats at about a 1mb connection

hey,

check out my vid on youtube(the link below) it explains how to do it, if your latency is good you will have no problem, mines bettween 100 - 150ping and it works with a really good connection, remember to rate and comment on the video, thanks ^-^
