UK ISP HySpeed Broadband Launch 15Mbps Satellite Service via HYLAS 1

Satellite ISP HySpeed Broadband has launched a new range of faster and more flexible Internet access packages that offers top download speeds of up to 15Mbps (Megabits per second) by harnessing the power of the UK Avanti Communication’s HYLAS 1 spacecraft.

The cheapest service starts at £18.60 per month on a 24 month contract (£21 with a 12 month contract), which gives you broadband download speeds of 4Mbps (1Mbps upload) and a monthly data allowance of 5GB (GigaBytes). Note: the installation fee costs £162 and the hardware is £359.99, although this can be reduced by instead choosing to pay a slightly higher monthly rental.

Meanwhile the ISPs new top package costs £68 per month (24 month contract), which will give you downloads of 15Mbps (2.5Mbps upload) and a 50GB usage allowance.
