Heya, has anybody tried playing Fumbbl with a surf stick (or using their phone as hotspot or whatever)? Does it work? |

I tried once on a Microsoft Surface 2
It worked, but OMG was I laggy beyond all imagination
I believe it can be done as you're asking, but it probably shouldn't be done |

Hmkay I feared as much. Did you check how much data volume the game ate up? |

Tried speccing on the mobile hotspot thingie yesterday and that worked well, only had one disconnect and the data volume was tiny. Might give it a try with playing. |

Guess it depends on the phone connection. I have played a couple games over my cellphoneconnection. Can be a bit laggy and 2-3 disconnects, but is playable |

Yeah I've got LTE where I'm staying so that should be reasonable. |

another datapoint:
I've played a few times on my laptop with my mobile phone as a hotspot...even with not perfect connection I was able to play reasonable well - a bit slower than normal but not really laggy.
The datavolume used during a game is really tiny compared to any "normal" browsing (it's just text, any webside with images produces more traffic)
There were problems with playing over mobile internet though: some providers used compression methods that would break the datapackages for our client - but I think that is a thing of the past in all (or most?) mobile networks |

Works fine in the UK on Vodafone using phone as hotspot for the laptop but I had 4g so not sure with lower signal |
