    So, has anyone any experience with the KBO tooway package?
    I heard they were pretty good, with fast speeds, but I'd also like to know about how they are for online gaming, both Xbox and PC gaming.

    On the topic of gaming, we only plan on getting the 8GB monthly limit one, how severe is online gaming such as COD on download limits? I would only be playing for a few hours a day at the weekends.

    All and Any help is appreciated :)

    Don't quote me on this but I don't think COD level online gaming is possible with Satellite.

    Edit, another post with some users input.

    You'll not be able to game at all on satellite, unless by gaming you mean chess. The latency is just too high, it takes too long for the signal to reach the satellite and then back down to earth. Satellite is optimised browsing, nothing else, no good for anything in real time like gaming or Skype. It's download limits are also pittance, you'll need to limit how much you use it to keep the service working. Satellite should be your last gasp attempt at getting a connection after all other avenues are exhausted.

    Surely there's other wireless options in your area.
