AVC Broadband review

Great service and was up and running in one day.


I called and asked about prices and was informed that I could do a self install, which would save me a few quid. You have to buy a card that they recommend, i bought a SatDrive card off ebay for £60. Downloaded the astra proxy software from their website and awaited card to arrive. Upon arrival and installation of card, called AVC and they walked me though each step of the configuration of the software. Bought some cable from local store and wired up card to satellite. Connected it all up and shared over wireless network. Only problem i get sometimes is it sometimes disconnects me due to multiple use of username, which is irritating.

Overview

AVC Broadband

Editors rating
Rating: 7.0
Verdict

If you can't get ADSL, consider a one-way satellite broadband connection such as AVC Broadband. However it's expensive, and your computer needs wired links to the DVB decoder and the phone line (for dial-up uplink connection).
