recommendation

I will be living in France for 6 months - in a place without a phoneline.

Thus, it seems that for broadband access I may be best to go down the satallite route.

Can anyone recommend anything - general use say 1 to 2 MB download speeds, online gaming. Ability to access Sky TV would be a bonus.

Satellite broadband will not support on-line gaming due to round-trip times ('latency'). BBC iPlayer will not work because their servers will not allow streaming to IP addresses registered outside the UK. Just for six months, I suggest you buy a 3G dongle and try that.
The BeyonDSL service cannot be sold outside the UK - you would have to find a French reseller.

He'd need a Mobile Broadband (3G Dongle/Modem) for every country he went to otherwise it'd cost thousands of pounds. Indeed only a couple of countries actually have Mobile Broadband prices like ours so that solution isn't really viable outside of the UK, yet.
