Re: OT : Broadband is coming my way (at long last !!!!)

I had no chance in the foreseeable future for an ADSL deployment. I 
live in a village that does not really have the populus to justify 
the exchange being updated.

My install is for Business use, in fact they call both packages 
Business SAT.

The only restriction seems to be the install of the DISH.
If you already have one, then you require planning permission to 
have it fitted etc etc.

Have a look on www.btopenworld.com/satellite

If you need anymore info, just ask away.

Please note that you CANNOT use the system for ONLINE GAMING, the 
ping times are in excess of 700ms.
No issue with contention ratio, and typical speeds that I know of 
are constant 480kps downwards and nearly always 150kps upwards.

Regards
Geraint.
