[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 22770, member: 174998"] At that price I would be astonished if this were a proper full satellite service. It is probably a hybrid, where downloads are via satellite but uploads via normal land-line telephone connection and a normal internet ISP. If that's the case, your friend may find there are still "hidden" costs to add (cost of the land connection/ISP) and also "hidden" constraints (namely that uploads can only go at the same speed as a standard connection, and that in order to be online all day long a la ADSL one would permanently tie up the phone line). Full two-way sat connections require an upload LNB, which is very expensive. 2old [/QUOTE]
