    This has been covered in a few previous satelite threads. It also smells of pimpage :)

    You know, someone from sweden coming here and reading this thread would find this extremely funny.

    God this is the most depressing thread I think I've ever read.

    Pimpage after you banning ...brave !!

    Anyway a word of warning about netsystem, it is very rarely as fast as advertised. Multithreading you can get about 20-25k downloads but i havent seen it go much higher.

    Europe onlines skybooster however is flying along, Im getting 1.2Mb/sec downloads on that for some reason but ive cancelled it and wont have it in a few weeks due to it not being an off-peak service.

    I'm certainly interested, but how much would a satellite dish cost?

    I think you can get something similar to a sky minidish for around €50/60

    Thats the current setup I have now but your post is kinda misleading. First off for anyone interested in netsystem you will get speeds of around 100kish UPTO 300(but its usually low 100's) from 6pm to2am and if you sign up for their extra effeto note package for 9euros extra you will get speeds of UP TO 1megabit from 2am to 8am but it usually never reaches that.
