    No sir. Ping can be hugely erratic making it useless for gaming, the reason it has no cap is because you will never be able to download at any great speed so you won't download a huge amount of data. If you are living in the center of Dublin save yourself some headaches and get smart.

    I had Breeze 2meg and used it for my xbox 360 and pc to play games. Never had a problem. I was playing ppl for mexico and all over the US and it was flawless.

    I moved house and bought ripwave. My god is it unbelieveably slow. It was suppose to be 1meg (lucky to get half that) but depends on signal quality, it also randomly disconnects for half an hour at a time. Dont bother playing online cause it pauses and stops all the time.
    Once my contract was finished I got the 3meg breeze and its so much better. The only problem is the unsightly areial on my roof and the 12 month contract.
