    I don't know much about Ev-do or how it works but is it possible to play FPS on this type of connection?

    Sure. It's basically wireless broadband given out by the phone companies. YOu need to have an ev-do card, and a subscription. They are not cheap. I think something like 15 bucks for 24 hours or 80/month. Usually not worth it unless you travel a lot. Usually hotspots will get the job done. There are also some dead spots, same as with a cell phone.

    Cheers
