Eutelsat’s Tooway in Britain

Eutelsat Communications, the European leader for satellite communications, has launched its Tooway consumer Internet access service in the UK.

Using satellite technology available from just £29.99 per month (E33.4), Tooway can now offer the UK's rural homes, and those in slowband areas, access to 2 megabit per second (2Mbps) broadband services without the need for any existing telephone line. The service is also triple play-ready, allowing distributors to offer additional TV and IP telephony services using the same equipment.

Tooway will be delivered in the UK via a network of certified local distributors.
