Re: Starspeeder Satellite Internet (Mark ?)

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

doesn't sound too impressive....i still remember what happened to
EuropeOnline.....

nice that they give a months subscription, but I do hate a flaky
ISP,,,,

I've been told that BT do a freephone service now to their ISP arm
using ISDN.

I dumped HomeHighway about 6-8months ago, in preperation for ADSL...

now I know we are not getting adsl, no cable service, so i'm left
with two choices...

ISDN (which used to cost me a fortune, if I wanted 128k) or Satellite
service, which is still a nightmare as it's only fast on the
downwards band.

I've been told by the colleague at work that he runs his ISDN2e
service in bonded mode via a router on a permanent connection basis.

Now I know we've had the Terms and Conditions debate before....I
wonder where we now stand, as the goalposts seem to move on a daily
basis....

oh well,,,,teach me to live in the sticks won't it....

regards
