Has anyone had any experiance on internet via satalite? such as this:-
aerialview.co.uk / skyDSL.htm
I've found a few places that are offering DIY kits to get highspeed internet via a satalite dish, but speeds range from 400k to 8MB and its all seems a bit to good to be true.
Or if anyone else has any idea for high speed conections, I can't get cable or A D S L and I'm not paying for I S D N.
Cheers

My mate has interent through a satellite dish.
He says download speeds are good, but the LAG is terrible.
Becuase the signal has to go all the way up to space and back, it takes a lot longer so it's useless for online gaming.
For donwloading it sounds perfect, not sure of the price though...

Cheers, If you speek to your mate, find out who it was through. I'll be everso gratefull.
K, I'll see what I can do.
He's in Leicester and I'm Surrey so it may take a couple of days....

You fool! :-)
I'll have to phone him, not sure when though...

Heh, it is a bit too good to be true...
Seing as you can't actually beam signals back up to the satellite, you can get some great download speeds, but you have to use a normal modem to upload data - that's 8mbit (or less) downstream, 33.6kbits upstream...
There is no way around this, you have to have another way of sending data, be it ISDN, dial-up, whatever. This often means you end up paying 2 bills, and speed for anything but downloading files isn't much better than normal.

You could get the 293 mb pipe satalite that cambridge uni used to use. It cost a fortune as it can send and recieve data.
Looks like I would be better off just waiting for BT or NTL to pull their fingers out and get some broardband near me. :-(
I've just read that BT are looking into an afordable two way satalite broadband link but it's going to be about 18 months.
