“The data allowance is much to low. We are on the 20 GB (L?) package, but alas the new 25 GB package has the free download/etc. only from 0:00-6:00, while our package has it from 23:00 to 07:00! I had hoped for Tooway/Europasat to be more generous and give at least 22:00-8:00 OR EVEN BETTER 20:00-8:00 without accounting? But alas, new offers seem even more worse? Though I can understand the shared nature of the SAT connection, those limits seem in 2014 pretty ridiculous, especially when someone in your family is heavily using youtube and alike. Volume boosters are much to expensive, more like a rip off and no alternative! Sorry, but it seems Tooway/Europasat takes full advantage of people who have no other choice then SAT Internet, in order to rip them off, instead off being more generous and attracting more customers, which might be in the long run better for the company revenues? OK, in our failure by design monetary system this is of course not the goal! ;-( Best regards in the hope for a better future regarding the download limits!

Hi Douglas Thanks for taking the time to respond to our survey. The speeds you are receiving could be due to the amount of people on the network at any given time as this is a shared network and for this reason, we cannot guarantee any kind of headline speeds. Kind regards The Europasat Team

Hi Carol Thanks for taking the time to respond to our survey. The delays you mention are down to latency, this is the time taken for the request to be sent up to the satellite system and back again. Kind regards The Europasat Team

“The service as a whole is just satisfactory. It seems as the day moves on the service suffers. It becomes unusable for anything but email/browsing in the evening. It does lend itself well to smart TV technology especially within the time constraints as mentioned above. The claims of fibre optic parity cannot be always claimed due to the ping time and subsequent latency. All in all if I knew what I knew now I would give the purchase of the system some serious thought due to the negatives I have encountered”

Hi Stephen. The speeds you are receiving could be due to the amount of people on the network at any given time as this is a shared network and for this reason, we cannot guarantee any kind of headline speeds. This is also why your speeds may be lower during the late afternoon till late at night simply due to the amount of people using the bandwidth. Please also be aware that the services is an up-to service which means the 20MB/s is not a guaranteed speed. This is stated in our terms and conditions which can be found at: https://www.europasat.com/support/about-us/terms-conditions/. If you have particular concerns, can we ask that you call our Technical Team when you are experiencing the particularly slow speeds and they can investigate for you. Kind Regards Europasat Team

“Had this installed earlier this year and have been happy with it in respect to working 24hrs a day and with no hicups from weather conditions. I use their speed control panel but do not believe it as fo me it is quite a lot slower than I am used to. I shouldn't complain though as it's better than nothing or intermittent internet, as I used to have.”

“Very good internet speed but vastly over priced. As soon as fibre is available in my location I will be cancelling Europasat. The download caps are not high enough and to upgrade to the next level is far too expensive. In my opinion the service is very good but is let down by the price.”

Hi Darren Thanks for taking the time to respond to our survey. Satellite will be more expensive that standard ADSL broadband due to the amount of funding that has been ploughed into the new Technology. However, we are hoping that this will reduce as the option becomes more 'mainstream'. Kind regards The Europasat Team

“for holiday home owners with langer absences insufficient alternatives i.e "swith-on/switch-off" capability is way too expensive. Alternative would be welcomed.”

“Our BT broadband was so intermittent that it was really non excitant. We had our Satellite broadband installed in October, and was assured by the installer that the 'reception' was of the like of your sky satellite, thus "if you have sky you will have broadband".....not the case. Light winds - speed drops. Heavy rain/cloud - speed drops/cut off.....snow...forget it! Like everything, when it works its good, but its definitely not the fail safe solution that they suggested it would be.”

“Good morning, Not sure I purchased anything from Europa recently. I have been a customer for a few years now. However – I have two comments 1) VOIP Service – the lack of, is a big disappointment and has been a couple of months away for all of the time I have been with you. 2) The tariff structure is not great – the jump between 30GB and the next step is unreal – also the fact that unused usage cannot roll over to the next month is a pain and seems unfair. Happy to discuss Kind regards James”

Hi Richard. Thanks for taking the time to respond to our survey. We cannot see a recent speed test performed on your system which has been with a computer connected to the Tooway Modem. Please can you perform our test at http://speedprobe.skylogicnet.com on a computer with a direct connection to the modem. Our Technical Team will be able to analyse your situation further when these tests have been performed. Kind Regards The Europasat Team

“The change over to the new tariff was reasonably simple and quick, although I recall that the first attempt did not work and I had to follow this up to resolve. That said, as a customer for over 4 years, I was disappointed that I had not been advised of nor offered new tariffs that are available to your new customers. Effectively I have been paying the same amount as they would for half the data. This is in spite of the fact that I had been approaching and in some cases exceeding the data limits each month. To be honest, I would have thought that as I pay you just short of £100 a month, that you would be doing a little more to retain my custom - a promotional email at the least?”

“I upgraded my service this year because downloads had become so slow. The supposed improvement wasn't wildly noticeable, and only made downloads as good as they used to be. Europasat service used to be slightly cheaper than slow local broadband; it is now more expensive. If I hadn't made such sizeable investment in technology, twice, I'd probably leave. There is, apparently, no benefit to being loyal.”

“I wanted to upgrade from 10mb to 15mb but this option isn't available. Can't understand why not as it must just be a little programming. I won't use 25mb per month which is what I have been offered. Shame.”

Hi Paul. Thanks for taking the time to respond to our survey. We are pleased that you have been happy with your satellite broadband system. I'm afraid that the satellite owner sets the tariffs and they consider that there is not enough requirement for this size of package. Kind Regards The Europasat Team

“Initial query about getting satellite broadband was not good. Emails were not answered, nor were promised phone calls returned. I had to chase you to get any answers. Installation by reseller was OK but it appears the equipment supplied was updated at my expense by downloading 48% of my allowance in the first 24 hours, and then took it to 130% 48 hours later. Should this not have been done before it was installed?”
