I had a visit last week from a chap representing a broadband satellite company. Does anyone have any experience with this type of service? In theory it sounds very good - 64k uplink and 256k downlink - so full duplex. Speeds of up to 2mb both ways are possible, so that is some bandwidth!

The whole thing is delivered via a static IP address, so a firewall system is supplied for security. It's possible to turn the system into a Virtual Private Network (VPN), so I intend to investigate further....

As always I welcome any comments.
