BT Satellite Internet - see my pics

["psghome2002" <psghome@xxxxxxx>]

If anyone's interested, I had my BT Business 500/1 Satellite 
installed yesterday. Great speeds - compares very well with my old 
cable modem service so far (except upload speeds only 120Kbps).

Despite BT saying you can't share the 500/1 service (they want you 
to buy the older Gilat Skyblaster 180 modem/router which is supposed 
to be slower than the 360 that I've got) it is easy to share. I've 
used two NIC's on a W2K server and ICS. Works like a dream.

A good solution if you can't get ADSL/Cable but it is quite a lot 
more expensive (=A3900 equipment/install and then =A360 per month).

I only ordered it 2 weeks ago - installer was surprised as he said 
they've now got 10000 installs country-wide.

The installer worked for SCS (sole contractor for BT he said) - 
really knew his stuff and even helped me route the cable up through 
the walls, across the loft and down to node 0 - very unusual to get 
this level of excellent service. He even left me some new CT125 
cable and connectors so I can re-position the Sky dish.

I've posted some photos to the Yahoo photo area:

email me if you want to know more. There is a load of good stuff 
about the US 'Starband' service which is very similar at:
