    Default Best satellite Broadband?

    Hi Guys

    Right, new to this forum, so don't flame me if this has been asked before!

    Being one of the people BT doesn't give a shit about in a rural area for ADSL, I'm considering getting Sat broadband. Anyone got this service, if so which company is best and from experience, what sort of speeds / contention should I be looking at?

    Any comments much appreciated.

    Cheers and Happy New Year!

    Satellite Internet sucks I woundnt recommend it to anyone, I've used BT for 2 way satellite which is very slow and I've also used EOL which is download only and you need a modem to upload which sucks.

    Unless your only looking at internet pages its not worth it.

    Look at the corporate website for info on all broadband

    And for a list of providers indepently recviewd and listed check out

    http://www.net4nowt.com (might be .co.uk - can't remember off hand)

    IT people slash forward.

    Also, lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....
