What's the latency like?  We had the BT satellite service at work (10 years back I know) and sometimes you would wait ages to get the download while the queue ahead of you cleared.  It was quick when downloading though....good system when it worked though.. :)

He is using it for everything, including VOIP and not heard about any problems.

He uses it for business as well (works from home) and stability of the VPN was the most important part and it has not failed.

Monthly consumption is a little low though and the more you use, the price rockets up.

How about this one then Don? Someone near me installed this one as the wired option was too unreliable.

I spoke to these guys today.  I'm going to have to do a self install as they don't have engineers in NI.  Not the end of the world.  But does come with installation DVD so should be okay.

Also spoke to the current provider who had no answer for why they can't compete on either speed or price, let alone both!  Just have to give them 30 days notice and then gone for good.

Our download limit is 15gb. Hit it this month for the first time. Looking at the 26gb package. This should give a good buffer and cheaper than currently paying

Another candidate for a black box camera.  Full HD 1080 resolution @ 30fps.

Just released and you can watch the video via WiFi in real time....Blackvue Dashcam.  Looks pretty good for the price.

I've recently bought the blackvue 400 HD II via a group buy on another car forum (Briskoda) and it was very easy to setup and use. They did have the 500 as well but couldn't justify the extra cost.

Last month purchased a quality car video recorder from this company http://www.szswill.com The model SW-D230.
It works perfectly so far, HD720P @ full realtime, maybe you can have a try. There are some other models for choice.  :xmasgrin:

As you seem to be advertising your distribution of dash cams I would normally be quite blunt, but as you seem to be asking for feed back of your items, am I to assume you are giving out free samples to be tested by us?  If so, send me one.  :thumbsup:
