    Default Anyone splitcam using mobile broadband?

    Hi I'm thinking of using mobile broadband and wondering if anyone has ever successfully managed to splitcam using it, and if so, up to how many sites? x

    I tried it but it was not powerful enough and another, worse problem was that I kept getting disconnected intermittently. I think it would depend on what service you were using. I was using virgin mobile. also it depends on your area. If connecting near a major city (I was not) I bet it might b e more likely to work.

    Nowhere near a major city haha, I've been looking at alternatives to my shitty 0.37 upload speed (we can't get cable or even average speed adsl here).

    As I said in your other thread (my first post in it), I used to use a dongle to split cam. It was with 3, but with a standard dongle, not the new mifi one (or whatever it's called). It used to drop out sometimes.

    My friend did it , with Mifi - It was possible, her upload speeds were great - However it cost her a fortune , an absolute fortune . The answer is yes you will be able to split cam, you will max your limit incredibly quickly , and it will be hugely expensive , and basically not worth it , unless you're a 20k a week bb However, I would LOVE if you tried it and proved me wrong - I would move into my dream house in a heart beat ! xx

    I'm going to buy 2 dongles. Initial set up cost £100 then £26 a month for both, which will give me 30gb data Currently I'm using around 5gb per week but that's including my oh playing xbox online and personal net usage

    I reckon you will get through around 0.5 GB per hour per HD site (maybe more on SM) - this is just based on when I did it with cams.com

    Does cams require the same sort of data usage as sm then? i just signed up there as an alternative to sm because it will just require too much of my data/ quality/ whatever you call it lol

    I think SM takes up more than cams.

    I think you will struggle with even 2 dongles and hit your limit before you want to ...... then you will have to buy an addition dongle/s or keep topping up at their horrendous rates . I sympathize , I really do !

    I don't mind as it will still be less than what i was prepared to pay for satellite

    Actually i just thought.. i don't plan to split all of the time, so i will connect back up to plusnet (we'll keep it for other half's gaming) for normal camming and personal browsing and thereby use even less data. Just hope it works out x
