RE: Satellite Internet Access

[Keith Doxey <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

I'm within ADSL range (0.6km) but the exchange isnt on the list to be done
despite having over 25000 customers on it :-(

Cable runs past the end of my road but not down it, and I dont think Cable
Modems are available in my area anyway. :-(

Satellite isnt for me either, I dont particularly want mega download
speed....I WANNA BE CONNECTED 24/7 !!!

Is that too much to ask?  .....apparently so :-(

Yep...but @ £100 a month it's a non-starter for me :-(

If the feckers would just enable my exchange I'm within RADSL range !!!
