Case 2. -home visits by nurse with laptop to do care plans, using NextG
mobile card and VPN-ing back into clinical app. Without fixed IP this would
be unreliable. Without their ADSL2 connection @ 16mb/1mb it would be slow.
Case 3 -remote clinic linked by IPSec vpn back to main clinic via B4H
connection, again ADSL2. The remote clinic then gets to use the same
clinical DB, not possible with a 512/128 connection.
Case 4 -nearly all my clients use vpn's from home to check the odd path
result that is nagging away in their mind after dinner. Not possible without
a decent connection which B4H has introduced them to.
I do all this very happily with a crappy 256/64 ADSL connection
at the surgery (with fixed IP, and using Best Practice), even if I
use a dial-up connection/VPN from outside.
Obviously a faster ADSL plan will improve speeds especially for
remote printing of scripts etc, but my slower Internet connection
is still very workable.
As you can see, I didn't avail myself of the B4H offer - it just didn't
seem necessary to me.

I need my ADSL2+ because we use VOIP and I use web based resources
extensively. I'm with iiNet/Ozemail and they were not in the B4H list so
I did not bother with the subsidy
