Satellite broadband
How does this work? 'Cos £55 for 2mb sounds pretty good  I
Quote:
SP CentralPoint have announced details of what seems to be a cheap and perfect way for those who want broadband, but are suffering from unavailability from BTs ADSL rollout.
Using satellite communication for the downlink (ie from the ISP/Internet to you), CentralPoint are able to offer speeds to rival that of traditional ADSL based ISPs, ranging from a newly introduced 250Kbps costing just £18.50 per month, right up to a 2Mbps service costing £55.50 per month. The latter 2Mbps offering is a fantastically cheap way to get this form of download rate, with tradtional ISPs over ADSL costing from £5 or more per month extra. One exception is Bulldog Communication's Primtime service - but this is limited to 2Mbps outside of core office hours (Mon-Fri 8am to 6pm). CentralPoint's activation fee is charged at £15, irrespective of product chosen.
