But new customers who sign-up for packages with <strong>20GB<\/strong> or more data allowance, on a minimum contract of 12 months, will now get the hardware bits for free.<\/p>\n<p>New users who would rather have a 30-day subscription can also take advantage of reduced equipment costs of \u00a340 on packages with a data allowance of 20GB or more. Mind you in both cases you&#8217;d probably still need to pay the <strong>activation fee<\/strong> (\u00a349.95) and a <strong>domestic install fee<\/strong> from \u00a3149 (unless you&#8217;re comfortable doing it DIY, which is a tricky job).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Mike Locke, MD of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">Satellite<\/a> Internet, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Across the UK, even in today\u2019s digital age, numerous people still don\u2019t have reliable, high-speed Internet service, leaving them unable to access vital online services. For these people, satellite broadband provides a consistent and fast connection. We are pleased to be able to make this even more accessible with our free equipment offer<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Satellite services are typically best for helping to connect remote rural communities, with prices for the above service starting at \u00a322.95 per month for a usage allowance of just 10GB or \u00a334.95 if you want 20GB.<\/p>\n<p>However we note that there are a few T&amp;C caveats to the new offer. For example, at present the kit you receive will only be enough to deliver a service for those in England, Wales and most of Northern Ireland, but much of <strong>Scotland is NOT covered<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore only one promotional equipment set can be taken per new account and the hardware must be connected to one of the ISPs accounts within one month of purchase or the full, unsubsidised, price of \u00a3450 applies. Hard luck if there&#8217;s a problem that delays your activation, such as being on holiday at the time or bad weather perhaps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aptly named ISP Satellite Internet, which makes use of the SES (ASTRA) platform to deliver &#8216;up to&#8217; 20Mbps Satellite broadband services across the United Kingdom and Europe, has announced that customers on selected packages will be able to save \u00a3229 thanks to their offer of free equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[77],"class_list":["post-9278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk-isp-special-offers","tag-satellite"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
