Satellite Internet Connection

Moored St Ives, Great River Ouse

Dear me what an awful day this is.  I was being very jolly in the local fishing tackle shop getting some wiggly things to put on my hook to tempt a few passing fish, a couple of new floats having lost some due to my terrible casting into bushes, when the lady in the shop asked me if I had heard that London had been bombed… I was too jolly and smiling too much, she must have known I didn’t know… nobody was smiling and laughing in St Ives this morning,..

Anyway our thoughts today have been with all the folks who have been victims and their relatives.. so we decided not to move today, I felt fed up and the news made me feel miserable and not in any mood to cruise up the river..

Anyway, I have been having a look at my fellow bloggers sites today, seeing what is going on.  I see on Directors Cut that they have installed Satellite Broadband, it looks good.  I have done some enquiries and it seems cheaper and faster than what I am using at the moment.  I have put a ‘tracking ping’ on their page, and am hoping that someone from there will come here to answer a couple of questions that I have about it.  I did try to leave a comment there, but you have to register to leave a comment and the registration page is not working.  My questions for you then is

• Using your gprs or 3g to connect to AVC Broadband Services… how much bandwidth does that take to connect to them?
• Once connected to the satellite system does the gprs side of it still mount up with bandwidth usage?

I am still unsure how this actually works.. it could be that it would be one way for gprs, ie bandwidth is used for uploading and satellite for downloading…

All I hope for now is that the people  from Directors Cut come here.  Sorry I don’t know your names, I couldn’t find them even though I trawled all over your pages.
