    I was comparing the upload and download speeds of my 512k cable with a german friends 768k adsl, he got 5k a better download :)
    I get 80-90k download on ntl he gets max of 95k on his dsl.

    Mayhem - did you get your satellite connection off one of those crazy expensive irish companies like educom or the likes?

    Depends what you call crazy expensive...
    Yes I get mine from Educom. They are the only ones who do supply satellite in Ireland at the moment. Basically it's costing me €250 a month. Still only half of what I was paying Eircom for a crappy ISDN...

    For €35p/m you can get 2mb DSL in (mainland) Europe.

    I think he did, seeing as he seems to think €35p/m is good value for ISDN ("Eircom ISDN is only €35 a month!!")

    Don't you hate it when people post about their internet connection without giving proper information.

    Educom, one of Ireland's satellite broadband access providers, have a product called "Eirstream" which you can check out here:

    http://www.eirstream.net/

    There seems to be four packages, the cheapest one is the 400k down/128k up and has a cap of 3 gigs and costs E150 a month.

    The most expensive is the 1024k down/128k up and has a cap of 10 gigs and costs E375 a month. All caps are per month.

    The webpage seems to say that you need a "Radio Appliance Licence" which costs E125 per year in Ireland.
