Topic: Chumby and Satellite internet
Hi Guys,
I just got a Chumby for my wife yesterday. The good news is she warmed up to it right away. The bad news is that we have satellite Internet and we are only allowed ~150 MB a day before they turn on their "Fair Access Policy" or FAP. This throttles back your speed to something along the lines of a 300 baud modem.
We got FAPed already today, and as far as I can tell she has not used any high bandwidth widgets. The only one that seems at all suspect is the myspace widget.
Is the Chumby a bad match for folks with a limited amount of Internet connectivity? Is there a way to see what widgets are the "hogs". Also, it seems to download the control panel each time it is fired up, how big is that?
