Are you talking about Satelite Internet service? If so, I don't think you'll find one service that covers both US and EU. We use Xplornet, and it's specific to North America.

So unreliable, but works really well when it feels like it. |

Yeah it sucks ass in more ways than one.. Sad to see they have not improved the technology in the last 10 years.
Might want to look into Broadband via radio signal. Its actually quite amazing.

Sat internet sucks. My girl's dad had it when he lived out in the middle of nowhere. I'd have rather had a dialup connection.
With SAT, if you went over like 75mb of downloads in a 24 hour period, they throttle you for 24 hours and you get VERY limited access. |

I am on it, and it is better than dialup, but not great. During peak hours, like 4pm to 9pm it slows down to a crawl. Weekends in general are slow as well.
Due to all the trees on my property I can't get the portable internet or rocket stick. As much as I want better high speed, I'm not interested in clear cutting acres of land to get it.

I'm on a 2Meg package, and regularly get 1.6M-1.8M download speeds. And, since we had the dish re-pointed, uploads aren't too bad either. I regularly download 100MB-200MB files with no issues, and speeds are consistent throughout the day. We *do* occassionally get throttled, but it usually only lasts about 20 minutes. (that's when I go have a cookie break!). But, yeah, it's expensive; $170/month, and about $1500 to install. Our local township paid for 75% of the install cost as an initiative to get small businesses on broadband connections; sweet.

An interesting one I've found for Europe was this one http://www.bentley-walker.com/tooway/ Although the bad reports above make me wonder if what you see is what you get, they claim that 50% of the speeds should be manageable 90% of the time. So why the fuck are they then promoting 100% ... Also, don't like the caps, 2.4GB in 1 month is nothing (cheapest subscription) |
