Comments from my brother who is on satellite.
its not as good as broadband but better than dialup, you come in via
satellite anywhere from 300kps to 1000 and go out via land line(depends were
you are) in my case about 32kps average, monthly $50.00 deal all
inclusive,$350.00 for the dish (old foxtel dish will do fine) and internal
card software etc,could look on ebay and do better price, hope this
helps, seems M.T.Helena will soon get optic cable up close " broadband look
out here we come"!
These comments only apply to One-Way Satellite and a FoxTel dish should
cost around $80 IIRC. The dish size is completely dependent on your
physical location in Australia, but near Perth, a FoxTel dish should do
fine for One-Way, but *not* for Two-Way Satellite.
