So is the question whether to have a BT connection or a cable

hopeless at the time) so the connection does exist.



It's been a while, but last time I looked into satellite broadband
services, the initial setup costs were very high (relative to
ADSL/Cable) and, due to the fact the satellite is in geostationary
orbit, the latency is increased simply because of the time it takes for
the signals to travel there and back. However, if you're in a completely
rural area and have no other options, then it's certainly viable.

I've been using Entanet for the past couple of years (there are a bunch
of resellers for them -- ukfsn seems to be one of the more popular
choices. Read more about them he

As for cable? I left NTL a number of years ago due to terrible service,
although experiences seem to vary. I can't really comment on how good
they are (or not) now, but personally I'll never go back to them.
