good evening Michael ? , or Hi M8 from Biggles UK ,
I am intrigued by a UK Sat connection. v. rare in the UK,
Seen a lot of 56k dialup ,adsl, fibre. Fttc ,Ftth but never Sat ,
that is totally new to me , please post more details ,
But I guess TMN is the right place for Sat questions , and never did me any harm only
good from dial up through to Fibre to the cabinet ,
Hi Biggles, You've not heard of Satelite Broadband ??? A company called Tooway are installing it all over the UK and have been for a while now.
It's great out in the sticks where there's no chance of BT laying fibre or even telephone cables.
Cheers

Just thought I'd say a big hello from someone in the UK who is looking for a decent broadband speedtest site.
Hope to speak to folks later.
At the moment I'm trying to find out if I can check the download speed of a Satelite connection using the checker on here ? Will it fail because of latency issues ?
Anyone help ?

Hi mudmanc4, The latency is running at 667 - half a second basically - but the overall speed is not to bad. Not much good if you are trying to bid on Ebay ! Your bid gets there way after the auction closed ! The company selling the package offer 20mb down and 6mb up - I've yet to find a test site that even gets anywhere near that figure. The testmy.net tester is returning a down speed of between 1.8 and 2.2mbps and an upload of 200-227mbps - pretty rubbish really considering the costs involved with installation etc..
I'll keep you updated
