Gaming pings with wifi

Just wondering what sort of latency you get with a broadband wifi connection, the service im being offered will have an aerial in my town about 1km away.Im gonna go for a really high gain aerial [24dbi] wich can support 11mbps at upto like 20k's,there will be a couple more hops of 11mbps over very high gain aerials to Portland[abbtel network] were it joins an 8mb fibre channel line to London.Will it give low gaming pings and very constant throughput like my isdn line i wonder ? If anyone has a wifi connection of similar type or uses the abtel service do me a favour and ping clarity at jolt or just some examples would do, thanx in advance !
 
From what I understand of Wi-Fi your transmiiter will not affect pings too much unless you havnt got a strong signal.

The main thing is your isp's line to the net and the contention ratio their service is set to. If its like you say an 8Megabit fibre link to LINX in london you shouldn't have a problem!

Your pings should be around the same as ISDN on average servers and around cable speeds on good servers.
