NexTalk and Clearwire — Does it work?

Hello! My Deaf cousin has moved back to my area and is living in a house that uses Clearwire for Internet. Clearwire is cellular wireless and we get about 1.5 MB download — not hugely fast, but respectable. I helped her install a videophone-type arrangement for her phone calls. Sorry, I don’t know what it’s called. I know it was made by Creative. It has a built-in Webcam and a video interpreter. Anyway, it turned out that her Clearwire was too slow to support the device. So someone recommended to her NexTalk, which as I understand it is a software add-on for her computer. Since it also uses a Web cam, I’m worried that Clearwire won’t be fast enough either. Does anyone have any experience with using NexTalk and a slower broadband like Clearwire? Thanks very much for any suggestions. I don’t know a lot about this technology (I’m more a generic computer nerd) but of course I want to help my cousin!
