You assume the FAA and NTSB can investigate the incident objectively? No?
Sheesh, can the US become more of a third world country?
I guess they can refuse to investigate unless they get paid by an "interested party", but that's about it.
Seriously? You can't investigate objectively because the people involved were in your organisation?

"my client needs easily read evidence (Such as text or screenshots) he can use as proof in discussion with his family to try and intercede in any potentially harmful transactions."
You don't need "proof" in a real discussion. Also, by the time you've captured and read any proof, it's already too late to "intercede harmful transactions".
Translation: "I casually mention 'client' so many times I probably don't have one. How do I spy on my family without the need to actually talk to them?"

Sweden, student discount, although the approximately same price is possible for non-students if your house / building has access to an open network, and the price is only slightly higher (~20-25$) for 100/100. I'd change ISP in a heartbeat, but I don't have any other option with faster upload, plus the only other option I have goes through POTS (vdsl2) and requires you to _rent_ the modem and still isn't any faster, only more expensive.

I get 100 megabit (in reality ~14MB) down, and 10 megabit (~1.45MB) up.
Although the speed varies a little, it very rarely goes below 95% of nominal max, and is usually slightly above the max-speed I pay for.
