2 Introduction With each passing year, the internet takes on a bigger role in day-to-day life. For everyday connected life such as running a business, kids doing their homework or just keeping up with friends and family, films or football, a reliable broadband connection is more important than ever. However, not every home or business, can get a decent quality fixed line connection to enjoy the full power of the internet. This is because the old copper network (ADS) is just not up to the job and the new fibre optic technology required to deliver super-fast broadband speeds is expensive and timeconsuming to install. Unfortunately, that means that it is just not commercially viable for it to be rolled out in many rural and remote areas and even some urban locations. As a result, more and more people just like you are now being told that they will not receive a superfast fibre upgrade in the foreseeable future. Many people are now refusing to struggle on with the frustration of bad broadband any longer and have discovered that there are already real alternatives available for them. One such alternative is Avonline s satellite broadband service. You may have heard of this technology, but are not sure exactly how it works and what s involved. With 100% UK and Ireland coverage, Avonline only use the latest technology delivering the fastest satellite broadband services in Europe. Read on and find out why this service might be just what you need to get connected to better broadband fast. What is satellite broadband? Before you can decide if Avonline is the right choice for you, it s important to understand what satellite broadband is and how it works. The concept is simple. Rather than use a copper or fibre line connected to your house, you use a small satellite dish at your home to safely transfer information to and from a satellite in space. As the satellite is positioned high in space it means that it can immediately provide coverage to 100%of the UK and Ireland, something no other network can do. The dish is connected to a modem via a single wire, the modem is then plugged into your computer or wireless router and you re online. Satellite is already used by several million customers around the globe for broadband. ooking forward, it will become even more commonplace as the need to achieve 100% connectivity can only be met by using satellite broadband more widely.

3 What are the advantages of satellite? Speed Avonline offers Ireland s only satellite broadband service with an average speed guarantee. If we can t deliver an average of Mbps measured over all our customers on a rolling 30 day basis you can cancel your contract. Flexible Data Packages range from 5GB to 150GB per month and many packages offer unlimited overnight data allowances. Availability Satellite already offers fast broadband coverage to 100% of Ireland guaranteed. And you can usually get installed in about a week. Affordability Although satellite will never be as inexpensive as ADS, packages start at just 24.5 per month. No phone line required Most ADS and fibre broadband services require a compulsory phone line rental. You can save over 230 every year by choosing satellite as Avonline do not. Fibre Guarantee Avonline Broadband offers a quick and easy switch to fibre guarantee giving you the flexibility you need if you do get fibre in the future. Why is satellite so well suited to rural areas? From 22,000 miles high, the satellite can connect to every square mile of Ireland with the same quality and speed of service. And because every fixed line (copper or fibre) network must have a cable every inch of the way to your home or business, no fixed line network can ever offer 100% coverage. With satellite, one small dish attached to your home means you can access the same speeds whether you re on a remote mountain side or in the heart of the city.
