SP10 Wireless Broadband For Hampshire

Hi,

I have been told about this <a href="http://www.sp10.co.uk" target="_blank">www.sp10.co.uk</a> but i cant seem to get onto the website?

Can someone tell me what there charges are like and whether they have an online checker or anything?

Cheers

Michael

Thank you for that, got my hopes up for just a wee while. They are currently looking at North Somerset (in time), bu**er of it is that I'm in South Somerset. Somerset/Dorset/Wiltshire border actually. Ah well <sigh> nice dream for a moment or two. :rolleyes:

Perhaps sp10 will consider coming west ???

WEST! - not yet .. We are getting there. You'll have to move closer.
 
This looks like a very competitively priced service given that download/upload appears to be synchronous, and judging by their <a href="http://www.sp10.co.uk/sp10.jpg" target="_blank">2003 rollout map</a>, it could potentially turn out to be my most viable means of escape from 56k hell :)

Their website raises a few questions though. First of all, it's being marketed as a business service - does that mean it won't be available to residential customers, particularly those who may wish to use it for that most hated of past times, online gaming? And related to that, how low is the latency likely to be? On the <a href="http://www.sp10.co.uk/competition.htm" target="_blank">competition page</a> they mention that one of satellite's weaknesses relative to wireless is the latency, but frankly even carrier pigeon-based data transfer has good latency compared to satellite.

I also note there's no mention of installation cost, which leads me to believe that it's expensive, particularly with it being a business service. And even though I appear to be within the radii of at least two transmitters on the rollout map (despite living over 10 miles outside Hampshire), I'm sure I'd fail the LOS test dismally.

Still, at least there's hope.

Edit: Just noticed that there's a dedicated SPTen forum :rolleyes:

I think most of my questions have been answered in there, just a matter of waiting to see if and when I can actually receive the service...
