3G reliability when it comes to Pokerstars lol

JL9 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 23:27:04 GMT

Hi all,

I know you wont notice a big difference if you are doing the usual like browsing, emails and social media.....and I know you might see an issue with streaming/downloading large files.

BUT is there anyone out there who plays poker on their mobile device? If so, did they notice a significant difference between playing poker on their mobile phone with LTE and 3G.

Or is it too unreliable for doing so?

Thanks.

Hi JL9,

I haven't exactly played poker but I know a person who had a 4G plan and switched to Public Mobile 3G plan. He uses Netflix and other video watching (YouTube) and says the speed is quite okay. He sees a difference definitely but it's okay since he doesn't want to see YouTube videos in the highest definition (after all its a small screen mobile device).

I have played Sudoku on my Public Mobile 3G plan and I don't see any problem; it runs smoothly. Playing poker I believe should be similar since both are more or less board games and I think you'll be fine; what really is comparable is something like a car racing game where lots of network egress is involved.

If you are close enough to a tower, reliability, ether in 3G or LTE, will not be a problem. Programs like that do not use that much bandwidth, and you will still get the LTE latency advantages, even when throttled to 3G speeds. I am confident, you will do just fine with that app and any of Public Mobile's data plans.

I play it, and it's fine. I don't see any difference from when I was on Telus LTE

There is no issue with poker, unless its all video streaming poker games.
