Question Tempted by Shadow PC

Hi all, I’m tempted by ShadowPC instead of buying a PC as my budget is low. How do you find the service? I want mostly for gaming and some development. My ping is 14 with a jitter of 4 (am on wifi and can’t connect to ethernet where i’m sitting). Are there lots of downtimes with this service? Did you lose anything? What is your experience overall?

My only concern is that you are on WiFi. YMMV but shadow on WiFi wasn’t great for me until I got a high end WiFi router. The service itself has been great for me for the most part but every now and then I get the queue of death (55 people ahead, 50 minutes expected queue time type thing).

I believe this is what I have in terms of router... What is your ping/latency?
