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

Internet via your Satellite?
Sure yeah I have heard of it, but can you imagine it? There you are playing on your favourite online game, such as counter strike, quake, etc. Then except for the LPB’s (Low Ping B---’s) every one is shouting LAG or something similar, and you are they’re shouting CLOUD, or STORM as your satellite is temporally covered. It’s a whole new meaning to online gaming. What’s the world coming too?

Heh, never mind Cambridge uni...taking a box over to use on my friend's 1gbit line =).
Foreign university..but I get pings of < 30ms to it from my cable modem..

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.
Looks like I would be better off just waiting for BT or NTL to pull their fingers out and get some broardband near me. :-(
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.
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.
