The words cheap, reliable, and satellite are not often found together.
Target price when I looked about three months ago was GBP70/EUR100
+VAT. Hughes Direcway's resellers should be able to get to this
price if you squeeze them politely, but DW's cap may be an issue for
you - it hasn't been for me.
Download speeds vary hugely - as poor as 100kbps during busy times, up
to 1500kbps when it's quiet. Upload is c**p all the time (25 -
65kbps). This is my experience with DW's Bronze service, I imagine
if you pay more for the next service level it'll be better. If you
have/can get ISDN, use that for the uplink.
www.satspeed.de and
www.bridgebroadband.co.uk might be a good starting
point. Both have helpful people. And I've just checked and
Bridge's site is down
