SSH: Size of connection (from mobile devices) & UK deals on devices?
I spend a fair amount of time on the move and really need the ability to fix problems with servers and deal with urgent emails while I am on the road. I have been looking into getting a PDA/Phone such as the O2 XDA and installing an SSH client on it.
I was wondering two things:
(a) How much data am I likely to use during say an 30 minute SSH connection with compression turned on?
(b) What do I require from my network? Will SSH work over GRPS or do I need something else for that?
I am looking at the following two deals:
O2 XDA IIs ("Exclusive Online Business Tariff" - £18 per month with 1mb data, £1.50 per extra mb or £35 for 30mb)
T-Mobile MDAIII (same as O2 XDA methinks) on Relax 100 tarrif (18 month contract for £19 per month) with 10mb of data for £15 and extra data at £3/mb [or £25 for 20mb data with extra data at £1.50/mb).
Has anyone on WHT had any experience with either O2 or T-Mobile in the UK or the XDA/MMIII (same thing)? Am I correct in thinking that the T-Mobile deal is better if I am going to use more than a few megabytes of data per month?
With many thanks,
Alex
