ISP Reviews by doonhamer5

We signed up to Tooway in early 2013 and it was taken over by Europasat.

It became clear early on that we needed an unlimited contract @ £99/month but it turns out there is no such thing as unlimited. If you go over 40GB usage they throttle the service in the evenings such that the speed is > 1MB/s, worse than the previous landline service.
Also, the latency of the service means that working from home over VPN is very very slow, e.g. 20 mins to save an excel spreadsheet to the server, 10 mins to send an email after pressing 'send'.

They have now put fibre broadband into our exchange and although we can't get it because we have an exchange-only line, the standard BT broadband is now working at 4-5MB/s and is consistently reliable, so it's time to ditch the Europasat service.

If you can't get a good landline service, there are specialists who can help. Don't sign up to satellite, it's not worth it.
