Digiweb satellite

hotwhiskey

I have run out of options and Digiweb satellite is the only show in town for me.
I know the equipment is expensive and the traffic limit is brutal, But would really appreciate any feedback on there service for instance,

1. The speeds the quote represent true speeds not like Eircom.
2. Whats its like on a rainy day.
3. How big really is the dish ( i have heard so many different sizes).
4. Costumer service whats it like when things go wrong.

Any feedback is gladly welcomed, Thanks.:)

Are you in an area covered by the National Broadband Scheme ?
You get a big help out with the installation costs if you are and there's no mobile service from 3.
Turns out we're 100 mts outside
Had a look for info on the Digiweb Tooway satellite (as it's called) - can't find contention ratios anywhere ... I'm assuming that applies with satellite too ?

Oops, typo. Meant contention ratio ... It's the max number of users that they will have sharing the same "connection" to the internet.
The lower the better.

Ring them and ask?

Also ask them about weather generally and how it affects the service.
