Alertme review

Reviews Should your broadband connection fail, the hub can communicate via GPRS -- thanks to its integrated GSM module and SIM card. There's no service fee, no battery backup and no GPRS, as it relies solely on your broadband connection.

Sling Media Slingbox Pro-HD review

Reviews Both the Slingbox (source) and the device running the SlingPlayer software (receiver) need to be connected to high-speed broadband networks, but the distance between the two isn't a factor. As long as you're getting normal broadband access speeds...
