What Aldo said. Looks like it'd do nicely - the size is a little hard to 
gauge from photos, but it seems like it should be the right fit. 
Anything bigger may be too hard to heat (summer will end).

Am I the only one a little disappointed by this?

Been thinking about this - I'm worried about how it will scale in the 
long-term. But in the short-term, it seems like it could work well: Paul 
said it was reliable with decent speeds, and Stuart has said we can 
SSH/VPN through it. It would pay for itself in just a few months, when 
compared to the monthly cost of the alternative. And by that time, we 
could reevaluate. If its decided to go with monthly connection with more 
bandwidth, then we wouldn't have lost anything, and we'd still have the 
hotspot available too.
