When you need the internet for business reasons and it can't be supplied via the usual method then does it really matter how much it costs if your livelihood depends on having a reliable internet connection.

Yes, as Bill says if you need a reliable, professional connection and can’t get access to a telephone line it provides a goodsolution.

We can fit anywhere on the island (the satellite ‘footprint’ covers Europe, North Africa the Middle East, etc.) with an 89cm dish and need just a few days notice to get you up-and-running.

We also have some second-hand hardware at the moment that could lower your installation costs.

How much is the second hand software? What is the installation like as we are renting for the first year we are in Cyprus. Does it involve drilling holes etc

Second hand hardware from €850 plus VAT.

Because the dish transmits to a satellite 35,000 Km above the equator it needs to be securely bolted to a concrete base or structure. yes, we will have to drill holes...

I realise that but is there a need to drill through walls etc?

There are two 7mm cables (transmit and receive) that link the dish to the modem. We can normally squeeze them through existing trunking provided for TV cables, telephone, etc. If not, we can drill a 14mm hole through the wall and re-fill it when we remove the system…

Say €850 plus VAT for hardware and installation... €85 plus VAT per month for airtime... total €2,150
