BT satellite system was quickly ditched in Scotland from what I
understand due to problems like this.  I know people looking at a
Satweb
system.  There is a company who use there kit for both static and
mobile
(on a van) instalations.  Are Satweb any better?

The BT Business Satellite 500/1 or 500/4 service DOES give upstream 
connection at up to 120Kbps (or it's meant to). I've got the service 
and have had since it's launch and had a number of problems.

Until recently, download speeds have rapidly dropped off (got to 
around 20-30 KBps from 60-80 KBps at the start). BT support 
recognise this problem - Gilat (the providers) are moving a large 
number of BT's customers (1500 total at the moment) to a new network 
that (should) cope with the demand. At least, that's what they say!
