    hi folks, considering ditching the land line broadband, as its a bit hit and miss, in terms of going slow, when i need to use it most, and also i don't like eircom...


    I am currently out of contract with vodafone broadband, and getting 4mb, but its not a reliable 4mb, so considering ditching the land line based system for something else.

    i have considered, satellite, as that would allow me to ditch the landline and port the number to blue face, which i could use over mobile broadband, for VOIP, as satellite latency is much higher.

    with onwave, and other satellite providers, when the usage allowance is exceeded, what is the speed reduced to?

    do they charge for excess use?

    thanks

    Put up with vodafone or get to like Eircom, you'd be a fool to ditch a landline for a Satellite connection.

    tbh stupid idea, but don't let me stop you.

    Probably too late for you - but stay AWAY from Onwave.. they're a disaster!
