[QUOTE="hairybadger, post: 828136, member: 389459"] I've looked at a few of these providers before, my interest being that although I have ADSL I'm 4.5km from the exchange and so the practical download speed is a measly 1Mbps, which is insufficient for modern applications. I have two main issues with a satellite connection: the first (and more important) being that your total consumption is limited unless you're prepared to pay a small fortune each month and this would defeat the object of the exercise in having higher download speeds.... My second issue is that I don't like the idea of my data being sprayed all over Europe - I don't care how well it's encrypted, I just don't like it. Am still tempted though :) (A third problem for me would be getting spousal planning permission for another dish.... :) ) [/QUOTE]
