Downstream Satellite Access + ADSL

[Solar]

Hi,

Who of you have tried the downstream satellite solution + ADSL yet? And what is the kind of international speeds that you've been getting? I wonder if this is perhaps a viable way of bypassing the cap.

just a strange thought. Is it possible for us to sign up with a satellite internet provider in europe?

Thats why we need to grow and merge our wifi networks ... pooling a wifi networks' members resources would allow direct purchasing of bw from foreign sat cos.

It finally struck home to me over the last week that affordable bb is years away in ZA ... we need to help ourselves. Waiting for our dear minister of coms to deregulate the industry is a quite pointless. If we spend a quarter of the time we useually spend bitchin' and moanin' on these forums actually doing something (setting up wifi) we could have already found a workable solution.

Stear well clear of infosat and its re-branded offerings. Peak time bw is only about 64k.
