I assume they mean on-and-off usage as you would normally see from a  
mobile computer.  Because I was frankly thinking to use their service  
using a laptop as router for my home.  Still am, but I want to find  
out about VoIP potential and performance first.

But for streaming video you have to be sitting at the computer!  I  
have files I can put on a USB key and plug into the DVD player  
connected tot he TV in the public areas of the house instead of  
inviting everyone into my office :)  Much preferred for me.

As a side note, I have 469 open torrents right now.
