I folks, i'm mike from canada.

I heard about vbulletin.nl a long time ago, and i just registered 2 or 3 weeks ago, but i've been busy so i didn't activate my account. Now everything is done, so here am i !

I work for a big satellite company, and i worked at UbiSoft like web programmer 3 years ago. I still did some web programmation when i have time to do it...

So

That's me

Do you use satelite at home too? Also for internet? How is that working?

Welcome to our site and thank you for the introduction :)

i use satellite for TV only.

Internet satellite (my opinion) is not enough stable to be use like i use internet.

I saw and installed many many satellite internet system, everyone was happy to use that system, BUT, it's very limited. You have a cota, like 5 gigs of download, 1 gigs of upload per months, and every gigs you transfer after, is like 9$ (in canadian money). It cost 80 $ per month, you have to buy the system (500 $) and pay for the installation, which is 400 $. You get 500 Kb/s in download, 50 Kb/s in upload. Is A WAY to expensive at the moment.

It exist another kind on "internet by satellite". It use micro-wave, and transfer at blazing speed, 3000 Kb/s (yes, you read correctly) and a small 150 Kb/s in upload. Is turn around 50 ~ 60 per month, depends where you live, far or close from the antenna. :cool:

I agree with you. I am quite happy with my 300kb/s download speed on cable - and it is stable enough to stay online 24/7. Which is what I seek for in broadband. I have cable TV too here, but only about 30 channels. (stupid dutch...2!@%!) I wouldn't mind satelite tv!

If you can grab some "free air" system, It's something like 500 $ each receiver, but they are modified to access ANY satellite.

You pay one time 500 $ .. and you will never pay for tv again. The only thing is you need to get you antenna install correctly.

By the way, my origin are from Netherlands. :D

Hi there too, I almost overlooked you.

Nice web site you got there. And thank you for using the dutch language pack :)

The dutch language pack is very nice. Although I have more than minimal dutch knowledge, it's been worked on very nicely.
