Cannot get normal broadband services on the Eastern side of Sawyers

invest in a 256/64 kbps satellite set-up under the Higher Bandwidth
Incentive Scheme. eSat, based in Hobart, is the registered supplier.
I would be grateful for pithy comments or advice on the matter.
I'd also recommend that you look at BorderNet and I believe that WestNet
may also be able to provide this access, seeing that HiBIS is a
government incentive, not something from one ISP.
There are other speeds available and you might also investigate one-way
satellite if all you need is download. Surfing the net does generally
not require high outband data. Don't expect this to work like ADSL,
there is a second delay before traffic transports between you and the
satellite and back to the ground (and then back to you).
Finally, I suspect that you have access to ISDN where you are which
might turn out to be cheaper.
