They are all one way satellite so with all of these you need an upstream link as in dial up so add at least €25+ per month to the cost.

http://www.netsystem.com is another one, there are some others as well, can't remember the names right now.

I had eol for a while and netsystem for two years until I got dsl, not bad if you can't get proper broadband but they all work out pretty expensive.

I have been with them since February (with the exception of the last two months as im in the process of relocating my sat system). They get a lot of bad press - much of it deserved. Their customer service is a bit iffy and their billing has been inaccurate on a number of occassions. That said, for €100/year, its still good value despite the low cap. However, i checked out their homepage yesterday and it seems that the annual sub is now €189!!

Its dubious as to whether I will renew at this price - thats nearly a 100% price increase ffs..

500Mb cap a month FFS that could be used up in less than 12 hours.

When I had Europe Online 3 years ago you could access everyone's scheduled downloads with a program written by a subscriber called File Fetch Manager, an almost infinite supply of programs, films, tv shows, mp3s and porn that other users requested. I don't know if that is still available though.
