Internet over satellite
As demand for Internet access increases worldwide, high bandwidth, reliable and flexible solutions are becoming critical to effective delivery. BT has developed a simple and cost-effective one-stop solution for PTTs, second carriers and ISPs, which combines satellite connectivity and internet access in a tailor-made package, with global coverage. As the service is non-contended (clear channel) bandwidth, customers can enjoy fast and reliable connections irrespective of the local terrestrial infrastructure. The flexibility of satellite means that links can be configured in two ways: so that the ratio of your outgoing traffic matches the ratio of your incoming traffic; or so that the volume of information sent is larger than that received. As traffic sent over the Internet is asymmetrical by nature, a satellite network is therefore the most efficient and cost-effective medium. Moreover, as your requirements change, ratios can easily be modified to meet your precise needs, ensuring that you only use and pay for the bandwidth you require. With growing concern over terrestrial network bottlenecks, satellite is poised to become the future of Internet delivery.

High speed broadband internet access is now available across the UK from BTOpenworld.
