Thinking about buying my kids (& me!) an xbox one for Christmas. We have mobile data (4g) and no fixed-line broadband at home. I've got an xbox one and broadband in my 'office' a few minutes away, so should probably try it on my phone data, but just wondering if anyone has a next-gen console without a fixed-line broadband and how they're finding online gaming?

My last 3 test pings (according to freely available tests) have been 17, 17 & 24. I'm on 50gig of 4g but also could get unlimited 3g as backup if needed. Can always hook up to broadband for an initial install.

Broadband out in the sticks is ok for about 75% of the time, so I'd take 90%!
