    Default CS questions

    I have 3 specific questions for anyone who can help:

    How much bandwidth does it use over the net?

    Is there a minimum required net speed?

    and do you still need a dish?

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Ok I am getting a better picture of how it works now, you mention latency, is this a major problem as my connection tends to have a high latency at times.

    Works fairly well on a dial up service with internet sharing on a xp machine. As mentioned already latency is more critical than speed.

    I think latency would still be your problem, not to mention the cost for the gprs usage.
