Are you in the same boat as me ? I live too far away from my telephone exchange for ADSL and there are no Cable Broadband companies in my area!
Unless I move house I am knackered.
Anybody have any experience of Satelite Broadband in the UK ?

I lived in the middle of NoWhere Namibia (SW Africa) and we had Satellite Broadband at a local Rest Camp and it rocked! Crazy right?

Nope. Not trying to rub it in but I'm going on almost 5 years with Broadband in 3 different residences in Texas and Chicago.
I seriously don't know what I would do with dial up. The times I had to use AOL when waiting for the DSL to become active were just painful.Someday hopefully everyone can have it.

It really sucks because I have Dual G5 with all the trimmings but the internet crawls so testing a website becomes painful.
It's like having a Ferari and no petrol.

avoid the sat!!!
We had one here and when it worked it had huge lag between requesting a site and getting the thing.
FTP would drop the comms all the timebasically it was wank, i got a better service using bluetooth from my PDA and GPRS on my mobile

Quote: "the majority has broadband, cases like yours are ignored because it is not economically viable and basically more trouble than they are worth" that is an ISP representative when I spoke to him last week.
BT's Midband is just hyped up ISDN and too expensive.

I dont know if you can get 3g out there... or anytype of digital cell coverage, but you might want to look into Wireless cards and packages..

That totally sucks. Maybe you can get a satellite connection?
I've got a 2mb at home here in Los Angeles (heh heh) :)
