Satellite is generally seen as a last resort for people who live in remote areas and cannot receive any other form of broadband Internet. It is available throughout the UK and requires the installation of a special satellite dish. There are two types of satellite connection.
The first type is a one-way connection, where you will be able to receive data (view web pages), but can only send data (if for example you want to send an email) by using a dial-up modem through a telephone line.
Two-way services, where data is both sent and received through the satellite dish, are also available, although these tend to be quite expensive to install - typically £800 - with an additional monthly subscription.
