E3 Satellite Broadband?

TCamen · 12-08-2005 11:55PM #1

Hi, I'm currently outside the area for broadband through phoneline/cable providers like Eircom, Smart, BT etc.

I was looking at signing up with E3 satellite BB as the 1mb for €69.99 is about the cheapest I've seen for a satellite BB service. Since I need to use my phoneline for upload, I was wondering a few things, if anyone can help me out:

1) Is it possible to use a Voip service like Blueface for the upload, or is that a totally ridiculous concept?

2) Assuming I must use a phoneline, is Eircom the cheapest place to rent a line solely to use for the upload, or can I get some sort of line that isn't for voice calls but is only for BB upload?

3) Does anyone have any personal experience with E3 BB i.e service reliability & customer support?

Thanks in advance, I'm so sick of dialup and lack of other BB options!

i get a 1mb service from Euroskynet for €16.90 a month with 1000mb download allowance included. You can also get a €6.90 but you have to pay separatly for each MB and it's 1.5cents each so i chose the €6.90 first but i since updated to the the skydsl classic 2 package for €16.90 a month. If you need any help/advise i will give it. But i'm currently on holidays in NYC and i'm currently enjoying the 4mbps on the Time Warner cable system in my cousin's place. 4mbps WOW "drools"
