I'm looking at getting Tooway's satellite broadband system to replace my existing very slow BT broadband. Anyone got satellite broadband? If so what do you think of it as a replacement for current 0.48mbps service I get at present. The main question is "are you pleased you bought it?"

Hmm not sure if anyone here uses that.

You tried satellite broadband specific forums/website yet?

Out of curiousity how much would such a system cost?

I've got tooways 10mb service I think it is , latency is a major problem for me as i do a lot of browsing. Download seeps are good @ 10mb but only at the router, when distributed wirelessly you get a a significant degradation in service.

Cust service is ok, in our part off the world they use random contractors who ive found are a hit or a massive miss.

most awesome first post mate NOT

lol yeah and oldcro was my first victim.

Thanks x5pea for just the information I was looking for.

I realise latency is much slower as it is mentioned in shoot em up type game playing, but as I don't play such games I thought no more of it. I also do a fair amount of browsing and thought the latency problem would be compensated for with the extra speed, my current speed is 0.48mbps by the way.

We have a very good contractor here who guarantees his work and equipment so I have no worries on that score.

As for being RRS-Driver's first victim, I fear he shot himself in the foot this time.
