Gives true pay-as-you-go broadband access in nearly 80 countries for 0.59Euros per MB. I wd be interested in the sixe of NOTAM/WX download once you load a route for say Bagby in N Yorks to Le Touquet. Anyone know or know how to discover? Once set up its truly plug & play .. but do not use for films etc!! D
