CONSUMER BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS

Fast internet for everyone with Tooway™

The new-generation Tooway™ broadband service has launched on Eutelsat’s KA-SAT High Throughput Satellite, enhancing satellite-based IP services across Europe and the Mediterranean Basin.

Despite the many media-rich applications that users today expect to use on a daily basis, in Europe, at least 13 million households are still beyond range of ADSL, and 17 million access the Internet at speeds below 2Mbps*.

Up to 10 Mbps immediately available for consumers

Operating via KA-SAT, the new-generation Tooway™ system is a cost-effective and immediate response to users waiting to access the benefits of broadband irrespective of their location.

Operated by Eutelsat’s Skylogic affiliate, Tooway™ can provide homes with an always-on service delivering speeds of up to 10Mbps downstream and 4Mbps upstream. The customer equipment comprises a small satellite dish (77 cm) and a modem, which is connected to a PC or Mac.

The Tooway™ system can also be used for Voice over IP and IPTV. With a dual-feed (Ku-Ka) LNB, Direct-to-Home reception of television channels from adjacent broadcast satellites is also possible.

Tooway™ consumer service packages

Skylogic is offering Tooway™ in four standardised classes with speeds and volumes adapted to user needs, ranging from part-time surfing to intensive home working. Prices are set and commercialised to end users by Tooway™ distributors, with service available from 1 euro per day.
