Hi Colin,

~ 1MB is really not much, is it syncron or asyncron ?
You should also think about branchcache or DFS replication technologies
which can save a lot of bandwith.

Hi,

1 MB upload, 20 MB (well, about 6-8 realistically) download ADSL. DFS is
great but not supported on SBS 2003 (main office server). Never looked at
Branchcache. I need to investigate this!

Regards Colin.
