They say it caps at 80 Kbps and will use no more than 500 MB a month, and they say they will be using three layers of encryption to keep your shared data safe, but is that good enough for you? --- The Official Odin of the Shin Megami Tensei IV board.

LightHawKnight 06/01/21 3:41:26 PM #5:	Questionmarktarius posted... what's even the point of it? It takes a portion of your bandwidth and shares it out for about half a mile, so as long as everyone in the neighborhood has it, all your Amazon products that use it can still have connection even if your internet dies out. So you can have access to your doorbell or whatever at all times, so long as the neighborhood's internet is stable. --- The Official Odin of the Shin Megami Tensei IV board.
