Haven't used satellite broadband but currently looking into it as best speed I can currently get is around 1.5mbps and fibre is looking less and less likely to come here.

 

There seem to be 3 providers in the uk but several resellers of each provider. Set up is expensive but cost varies depending on whether you buy or rent the dish and modem and whether you DIY install or get someone to do it. I've been looking at it and DIY install seems feasible but aligning the dish looks time consuming.

 

Haven't used them myself but this site seems to offer all three providers and some useful information:

Satellite broadband provides fast internet

 

If fibre doesn't get here soon I will sign up.

Slightly off subject but I've been campaigning for rural broadband improvements here in EA and have managed to get onto BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC TV 6 o'clock News more recently!

I'm not sure if I'll manage to make the slightest bit of difference but I thought it was worth trying. Most people whom I talk to on this subject are fed up with the 'same old, same old' guff that spouts from those in power.

I looked at satellite a few yrs back as my landline only give about 300k, download was faster, but upload still uses the landline, it was cost prohibitive at the time.

 

I was on a Narrowboat last week, the owner has mobile BB on the EE network via a dongle, he was watching a HD streaming video with no buffering, asked him if it was that good all the time, he said at peak times it can slow down a bit, bit not so you'd notice too much, might be worth looking into.
