I think the pings are too bad to play.

wireless connections have more lag than weird connections. u should switch to weird connection for gaming.

if its american server u will probably experience 300-500 ms lag if link is okay. but many servers don't accept this much lag, they kick out clients that are more than 150 or 200 ms.

No. Our fears have turned true. you are NOT able to play dua to bad pings. 166 ms for a server near you is really bad :(

and basically with a WiMax/HSDPA/EVDO, you can't expect good pings. You need wired Internet.

Maybe you can contact Airtel CC or any other Broadband provider and see if they consider laying lines :)
