I just ordered this today - 18mbs down, 6mbs up for £40pcm.

Took me 2 hours to download a 100mb file last night on our current BT "broadband" which was the final straw.

Can't wait!
Hi, where did you order it from at that price?

Tooway Direct charge £54.99 for that service.

My experience of satellite is that the pings are shocking
That's because the little packets of internet need to travel up to the sky and back down, roughly a 600ms trip.
750 here. No use for online gaming but I really don't care. It's no match for fibre but hugely better than my old crappy rural copper.
Apart from gaming, is there anything else that the latency would rule out?

Ah yes.

Mrs Whoami uses Skype quite a lot. That might be an issue.

Nope, it's not really an issue. I normally use satellite connections for work and Skype is very useable.
Good news.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.
