I think on the basic tariff it was.. wait for it.. a download limit of 1 meg. I think he meant a gig.. at least i hope so.

yeah... suckage. got ya by the balls these people have because they are so unique services. What is clever about satellite is that normally you have a fast upstream to send the request to the satellite which ques up the data and sends it smoking fast download to you. typically thou, download limits suck. bet it is crap for doing much video but as an emergency email, instant messager thing it is great.

One of those things where the price does not seem to be coming down. Satellites aint cheap i guess. :)

There's a new satellite going up at the beginning of the year apparently. I spoke to a guy called Kevin from Remote Data Services who told me it was totally comparable to normal broadband usage apart for the fact you only have 25 people sharing a pipe instead of 50 as with BT etc. He has a little dish on his family car.. :)

Was looking at Satellite modems for the Mobile Social Media Trailer idea but it seems as though the market hasn't quite matured yet. Found some satphone modems in Australia on eBay but the upload speed was sub 56Kbs. I think there is still potential for WildNet technologies to make a difference here as essentially you are using off the shelf cheap tech.
