BROADBAND: Satellite duo guarantees great download performance

THE National Broadband Plan, which was launched last month, included a map that showed the locations across Ireland that will have access to commercially-provided high-speed, high-quality broadband by the end of 2016. However, no matter where you are, satellite services are available; although these can be expensive, with low monthly download limits.

I used a Digiweb satellite service for years, until fibre came to where I live. The Digiweb fibre service I now have is so much better.

The satellite had reasonable download speeds (a solid, reliable 10Mbps), but had a 12Gig download limit per month (this equates to six HD movies).
