I have been keeping an eye on the tele2
system.
They recently dropped the price to 19.99/months and dropped monthly data
limits,
unfortunately although there schedule indicated this year for Newcastle
area, in
reality this will be next year..........

All these satellite soloutions require an "up" link from
your normal
modem/ISDN.
15 quid a moth plus an ISP charge is
still
lots less that 40 quid a month
for ADSL.

Yes, EON service has been less than good from
what I
read. The Star
Speeder
site gos to lengths to try and distance
itself from exactly the kind of
problems EON has had.
I think a
mate
that lives close by is about to order it. Will let
you
know
what
it's like if he does.
