BUMP!

So, looking at those numbers... does that mean my slingbox will only send out around 150 kbps when it knows a mobile device is viewing it? I just got my slingbox, and am looking at the iPhone app. I only have 500 MB of data now and I know I will need more, but I'm wondering if I go for the 6 GB Canada plan or the 1 GB North America plan. (Which would be handy for travel to the US.)

Also, for anybody who uses the mobile app (any platform)- does it work well enough that you would use it to kill 15 minutes? Or does it take 15 minutes before you can really use it? Knowing it costs $30- would you buy it again?
