I second zoom. We use it for video conferencing and it's pretty great. Use it for VC's with China and it's hard to find something comparable at the price point. As for internet how about a USB modem from wind now freedom mobile. $40 for fill speed 10gig.

One of its main strengths is working in parts of the world with awful connectivity (especially if not using video). Free accounts enable audio/video/chat meetings of up to 50 people for 40 minutes max per meeting. A paid account ($15US/mo) unlocks the 40 minute limit and adds other goodies. Might be worth a test. Do a 5 minute try and see how much data it eats.

(It's complicated.) It would be possible to use a cell phone as a hotspot, but I'm not sure if it would provide enough bandwidth for the call. The rehearsal would be about three hours, so at 128kbps (Google's answer for Video calling), that would burn through 135M, so about 1/7 of my monthly allotment. Then again, video isn't necessarily required, and that would cut down the required bandwidth to 30kbps. Are there any alternative products or services that anyone could suggest for this type of application? -- Alex Beamish Software Developer / https://ca.linkedin.com/in/alex-beamish-5111ba3 Baritone, Board Member, Toronto Northern Lights, 2013 Champions / www.northernlightschorus.com<http://www.northernlightschorus.com> Certified Contest Administrator, Barbershop Harmony Society / www.barbershop.org<http://www.barbershop.org> --- Talk Mailing List [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk --- Talk Mailing List [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk -- Evan Leibovitch Toronto, Canada Em: evan at telly dot org Sk: evanleibovitch Tw: el56 --- Talk Mailing List [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
