Just got this email: We regret to inform you that Aramiska and its services are shutting down and the company will be unable to provide you with internet access after today, 27th of January 2006 Nothing like a bit of notice. Did think it was fake at first but links on their website seem to indicate it's legit, plus can't…

What ???? , Ildana use VSAT backhaul for their schemes and wireless 'on the ground' only so the gaming must be absolutely dire except when playing the locals and as for VoIP .....don't make me laugh

VSAT is for surfing and email send/recieve , it can barely be used for SSL .

Ildana used this technology to bring GBS to places no one else can.
This is probably why Pure bought them.

Gaming and VoIP are not the internet for 99% of people,
"surfing and email send/receive" are.

What do you base your comment about it not being capable of SSL on?
I doubt very much it's on experience.

I'm in the DSL forsaken sticks of Ireland and was reading this article -

http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/news.nv?storyid=single5994

about how viable satellite broadband has supposedly become. Can someone with a bit of technical knowhow please tell me if there's any truth to it? I've looked at satellite broadband on and off down through the years and the more I've done so the more confused I've become.
