if you mean your actual internet connection is wireless, as in radio then I'm not so sure cause there might be a little bit of lag?
if you are talking about home wireless for your private network and gaming over that then I believe its fine.

could always email your ISP and ask what the average latency is? or if the ISP's website has a forum, ask people who already use the service there whats it like

Like I said mate - you CAN get satellite broadband. And wireless internet is often in communal places like pubs, churches etc. Usually provided by BT Openzone I think its called. Dead expensive tho.

Some cities offer wireless broadband via radio signals, a bit like Wireless LANs but on a bigger scale. Speeds are the same as standard broadband, but obviousl, wireless.
