I can offer you a dictionary.


e: market warrioring or hauling should be ok, pvping or missioning might be a bit dicey due to the high latency.

I have it and found that marketing/industry are about all you can do with it. If you don't find some form of wireless provider, the next best option is to tether/hotspot with your cellular service. 4GLTE is good enough. I use Hughes for downloading and AT&T for online gaming. Just watch your overage charges!

Can't you get any cell phone data at all? Even if you need to work some wizardry wiring outside to boost a signal?

Yeah, satellite won't work for gaming. It's like 1000ms+ latency.

edit: There are coverage maps, sites like this http://opensignal.com/ among others you can google. Then there is hardware that can boost signals, even your own towers and microwave dishes or whatever. All depends on your situation and location.

I'm in it for the money
