SatDrive hopes to tackle the broadband divide with a one-way satellite service that lets users pay more to get extra bandwidth when necessary
SatDrive is aiming to attract large number of customers who are currently stranded on the wrong side of Britain's broadband divide by offering a one-way satellite broadband product that lets users pay more to download large files quickly.
The service costs £14.99 per month and promises download speeds of a maximum of 4Mbps. When many subscribers are online simultaneously the available bandwidth will be much less, and SatDrive customers will then have the opportunity to boost their share of the available bandwidth -- for a fee.
"Many consumers will be happy to pay £14.99 a month just for the basic service, but we think business users such as consultants and Web developers will be happy to pay for priority bandwidth when necessary," Eoin Lambkin, founder of SatDrive, told ZDNet UK News.
