i have download speed on my ‘broadband’ of less than 1 Mbps. it’s intolerable, tho i have been tolerating for a while. My provider (orange, i’m in france) said basically ‘if you don’t like it you can lump it’ when we called them about it.
slowness seemingly caused by the local telephone cables being at maximum capacity, if that makes sense. as soon as people get home from work it’s pretty much unusable.
satelite, after and install cost to get the kit, would cost only a fiver a month more a month,for a download speed of 22 or 30 Mbps, though a volume limit of 10/15 GB per month.
Questions:
is it reliable?
do you get quoted speeds?
are reliabilty/speed affected by things like weather? no idea what length of waves this type of satelite uses. are theyvulnerable to interferance?
i can borrow a beeper tool to set the dish, can do the install myself no bother etc, so am seriously considering it
