Title: Broadband via Sky dish Post by: 4D on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, 13:14:41 Does anyone have broadband via a sky dish? I'm trying to get broadband and for reasons too long winded to explain cannot have a physical line installed.
Title: Re: Broadband via Sky dish Post by: Batch on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, 13:17:32 Nope, but it sounds expensive...won't work with a sky dish and will probably introduce horrendous delay (if gaming)
I presume you have no LTE either... Title: Re: Broadband via Sky dish Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, 13:27:53 http://www.thinkbroadband.com/guide/satellite-broadband.html

Virgin not an option? You don't need a line with them. Have you looked at 4G options? Title: Re: Broadband via Sky dish Post by: Batch on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, 13:34:24 are you ignoring my posts sipie :)

Title: Re: Broadband via Sky dish Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, 14:06:22 Virgin use a cable There will be a cable from the dish to the modem also ::) 4G is the way to go if you get sufficient coverage Title: Re: Broadband via Sky dish Post by: pauld on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, 14:08:59 Have you thought about 4G, 4D? I use that and tbf it works well, although the support can be a bit patchy. Guys on the phone are great and generally very helpful but it's a bit ropey if you need an engineer to come out

Basically my house cannot be easily accessed for a cable to be put in, so I am looking to see if there was an option to pick up a signal with a receiver. Don't mind wires from the receiver to the modem/ telly etc. Need broadband, preferably unlimited plus a tv package.

Although Kodi is better than most TV packages anyway Title: Re: Broadband via Sky dish Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, 14:29:01 I'm a bit thick/lazy when it comes to this kind of thing. :) Basically my house cannot be easily accessed for a cable to be put in, so I am looking to see if there was an option to pick up a signal with a receiver.

The dishes are externally mounted as far as I'm aware so a cable would need to be rouoted through the wall of the house. Which is basically no different to having a telephone line or fibre line installed, unless the top of your house is more accessible than the bottom. Do you live in a boathouse? ;D The major mobile phone companies offer 4G packages with a home wifi/hotspot solution.

If you avoid Swindonwireless.com it's reasonably priced too.
