I have been one of the unlucky ones, stuck on dial up for my entire life. Well, now finally it seems that where I live is able to get a service by AT&T called "EDGE". I haven't decided the exact device, but I'm thinking of getting the AT&T USBConnect 881.

My first question, is this EDGE network decent? I was very dissapointed when I tried out satellite and found it impossible to get under 900 ms, thus making dial up a better choice to play the game with. I play World of Warcraft (I know, eww), and some one said that it disconnects in 25 or 40 man dungeons. Is this true, as well? I hope someone who has used, or is using, this type of internet can help!

My second, will I be able to play for prolonged periods? I heard some people saying games will "drain the battery" on the USB or something?

I would appreciate any feedback on this ASAP, if I can get high-speed I'll probably scream like a little school girl!
