"384Kbps is almost as fast as the original 512Kbps broadband, and is fast enough for me to watch UK TV via Slingbox in Italy, and to make Skype calls..... "

Did you try to watch UK TV via Slingbox in Italy with the TMO UK card? How much is the cost for that? Does it also cap at 1 GBP per day? Otherwise it might cost you an arm AND a leg to watch TV on roaming...

This could be very interresting if that Web'n'Walk would work abroad as well...

I didnt watch Slingbox on T-Mobiles pre-paid service because I had a TV. I rarely used it to watch video content either as I didnt want to have big downloads on a laptop - the terms and conditions for the £1 per day are that it is not to be used in a laptop or for VOIP and I didnt want to attract attention. I got away with it in a laptop for a long time, and may want to use it again.

Somebody has also said that there is a cap, but I wasnt aware of one.

Having said that, I watch Slingbox and use Skype on Italian 3G sims, (WIND & TIM), and now on a Maltese GO MOBILE 3G sim, (this one is a contract at 23 LM per month for 5GB, and I had to pay a deposit of 250LM because I am not Maltese - OUCH!! I have been told that I can terminate any time after 1 month and my deposit will be refunded, or if I pay my bills on time for 9 months, I will also get it back), so it should work fine and, maybe, if you are only there for a short time, they might not catch up with you.

It definitely capped at £1 per day all the time I was using it.

Hope that helps

Richard
