Its from Aramiska and I think the link is http://www.aramiska.com and yes ADSL is very useful:)

There seems to be another one, too: http://www.broadband4uk.com/aboutus.shtml

It does have lots of problems, though. Speeds are sucky, prices are unbelievable (do they really think that someone is going to pay all that money for so crappy connection?!) and then there's the delay. Remember, the satellite is over 35000 kilometres away and signal must travel that distance _twice_ before it gets from point a to point b. That alone will give you >200 ms ping, plus other delays. For example, my dial up connection has a ping of 117 ms at the moment, considerably less than with the satellite thingy. Yay! Modems are good at something!

Heh... I'm the only person I know who has 10 megabit cable, everyone else has 100 megabit (grr).

Trilinear · « **Reply #32 on:** 2001-11-26 00:07:00 »

?! Your the only person I know with anything over 2Mb cable... In fact was was always told cable has a physical limit of 45Mb...

Oh well... um... remember this is megabit and not megabyte, but, I thought my friend had a 100 megabit cable (its a 100 megabit MODEM anyway). Plus... 750k/sec download is pretty fast (highest he's managed to get), I am limited to about 75.

ficedula · « **Reply #34 on:** 2001-11-26 22:26:00 »

Remember there's a difference between the max speed the MODEM supports, and your *connection* supports.

For example, we have ADSL; the ADSL modem supports up to 8MB/sec download, but BT doesn't offer that, so we only (!) get 512KB/sec download. A standard modern network card will offer 100MB/sec connection, but it doesn't mean the device you've connected to will necessarily send out data at that rate ... it's just the rate YOUR computer can send/receive data at.

Well you'd think if they came up with 100 megabit cable modems, it would be kinda dumb if cable's limit was 45 megabit?

Trilinear · « **Reply #36 on:** 2001-11-27 00:44:00 »

Yeah, I know. I'm talking 2Mb (~256KB). The RJ45 connect on the modem supports 100Mb (~12.5MB), but I've always understood Coax from the cable co. supported a max of 45Mb (~5.625MB). I could be wrong though...

ficedula · « **Reply #37 on:** 2001-11-27 08:49:00 »

The reason would be that if it uses an Ethernet (RJ45) connection, there's only a limited number of protocols you can support: 10MBit, 100MBit or 1000MBit. Nothing in between, so if you need a modem that goes faster than 10MBit, it's gonna have to be 100 even if you're not actually able to reach that speed.
