Just to be pedantic, network speeds are generally measured in bits not
bytes. It should probably be Mbps not MB.
18Mbps seems low to me, but I just asked my buddy who switched from DSL
to using a cellular modem and he said he rarely saw 1.5Mbps down and
0.5Mbps up.

Eric,
I am definitely not the definitive word on this topic but I had the same
question because the ISP at my station only has 18MB up and down. I have a K4D
and a K4/0 FieldTest unit connecting to servers at the station 60 miles from my
home. On receive, the bandwidth consumption indicator in both the K4D client
and K4/0 client shows about 1 MB usage and a real tiny number for TX bandwidth.
I?ve never looked at the indicator while transmitting but I?ll bet the numbers
are just reversed. Panadapter information is not being sent while
transmitting, I don?t believe, so bandwidth on TX could be much lower than 1
MB. I think you?ll have plenty of bandwidth unless your security cameras (or
other devices) are also on the same ISP. The K4/0 is just a very pretty (and
portable) package and firmware is going through intense testing right now to
get it ready for general release. It is really amazing.
Good luck,
Bob K5WA

much attention.? But now I have fiber there at 300-500Mbps, and the
possibilities are blowing my senile mind...
Thanks and
