Dear all, I'm interested in setting up a one-way internet satellite connection using my 256k ADSL connection as my uplink. I've had a look at providers on google (there are serveral) but what would you recommend hardware wise? It'll be for a single PC. Will Any USB DVB-S receiver do the job? Any info would be much appreciated, Cheers | ||

Thanks for the input guys!  Anyways, I went ahead and ordered myself a Technisat SkyStar2 USB receiver from Germany. I've seen it listed on numerous one-way satellite websites so it cant be that bad! Can't wait to see what happens! | ||

It's certainly ten years since I was forced to use it.

No worries Looking skywards for a decent internet connection has now become a necessity for me.. and here's why - 1Mbps broadband connection costs 74 Pounds/month - 2Mbps will set you back 94 pounds/month Either package requires a setup fee of 40 pounds.  | ||

I live on one of those man-made islands (see avatar) and it's got it's own ISP - other operators in the country were denied access to the island so in a nutshell the current ISP (owned by the island's developers) are enjoying their anti-competitive, monopolistic status & do as they please at my expense as a consumer. | ||
