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).

Typical price

Free
