I'm just looking for some advice regarding satellite internet.
We were supposed to be getting fiber in March but for whatever reason openreach decided to only do half of the road and we are one of the properties that are not going to be getting it anytime soon. I spoke to them and we are no longer on the agenda for a connection.
I currently on average get 3.5meg sometimes I can get 5 but the slow downloads for patches etc on the playstation is not something I can live with anymore now I know we are no longer currently being considered for any sort of fiber connection.
I've looked into satellite internet connections and I was wondering if anyone has any experience of using them? I have a few reservations over latency and wondered if it would cause any issues when streaming on netflix or amazon? I don't play games online so it's not a concern in that regard. I was just wondering overall what the connections are like. My BT contract is up in the new year and I'm tempted to dump them and try one.
