Looking to see if its worth grabbing for lunchtime gaming at my office. They advertise speeds of:
HSUPA data service of up to 2.0 Mbps
HSDPA data service of up to 7.2 Mbps

The
up to part is very important.
Due to the nature of wireless networking, any factor affecting signal strength, such as other people using it, distance from tower, walls or buildings in the way or any type of interference will reduce that maximum speed.
I have never used one of these sticks for gaming so I can't say for sure but it depends on where you are physically located compared to the tower you will be using. Your cell phone signal might give some indication of this, but probably not a good one. I wouldn't count on being able to do anything that required fast reactions like a FPS. WOW might be ok.
See if you can test it out before you buy, like a 14 day trial or something.
