[sclug] Netvigator - Anyone using it.

[Bob Franklin]

Hi,

I don't have it myself, but reports I've had from friends indicate it is 
quite reception-dependant.  In addition, the latency is very poor (of the 
order of a few 100ms - similar to GSM with CSD or GPRS) so anything 
interactive is likely to be be poor.  However, downloads are reported as 
pretty good, once they get going.

Since I run a lot of interactive sessions (SSH, RDP, etc.), I've seen no 
reason to change over.  (Especially as NTL have upgraded me to 2Mbit/s 
for the same cost.)

   - Bob
