SATELLITE BROADBAND INTERNET IN EUROPE
FROM £27 + VAT PER MONTH
Prime Satellite Broadband supplies fixed satellite interactive terminal services via its partner Avanti Communications. Unlike many of our competitors these services are based out of a UK located hub. Thus you will be able to access all UK shopping sites and have access to any UK distribution rights media content such as iPlayer. These services, defined below, are based on shared bandwidth and as such have an Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP) applied. The AUP is based on a dynamic monthly data volume limit and the approximate data volume is provided in the table below. You will have access to your current usage figures and we will warn you if you reach 80% in any one month.
Our services are suitable for businesses and residential subscribers. The services offered are based on low to high data volume users. Our low end services are suitable for light users looking to access the internet for web browsing and light email. These support online banking and shopping. Typically there are few users for these services. For higher data volume users or for offices where there are several simultaneous users we would recommend the higher level services.

* VoIP applications (including Skype) do generally work, however due to the nature of shared broadband links, the quality of service cannot be guaranteed at all times. In general the higher the data rate on the uplink, the higher the quality achieved. As long as enough bandwidth exists then the voice quality over the satellite will be good. We cannot guarantee quality over the path taken over the Internet nor the quality of service provided by the VoIP service provider used. Note that there is latency over the satellite and you will notice a slight delay in the voice signal.
Pricing is based on purchase and lease options and dependant on length of contract. Coverage is restricted to areas covered by Avanti's satellite Hylas 1 (launch Q2 2010).
