Just arranged BT broadband for my mum's address.
She can expect 1Mb-4Mb standard broadband.

She has no need for it as she has never used a computer, and won't learn now.
It's intended for me and the wife when we visit mum with laptops, tablets, etc..

Her house is a dead zone for mobile phones,
so Skype never works for more than a few seconds before freezing.
That's why we need broadband for when either me or the wife are at my mum's
and the other is at home or elsewhere near good wifi..

Will skype work reliably on such a low 1Mb-4Mb provision...???

I've also just bought her a new HD Smart TV,
will catchup on demand work effectively...???

More important, I'd hoped to eventually install strategic CCTV monitor cams
to keep an eye on mum's stairs and living room, etc, in case of falls or illness.
Again will these work with such pathetic broadband...???


cheers...
