Tooway™
Tooway™ uses satellite technology to supply homes with fast, flexible broadband Internet access.
Despite considerable progress over recent years, the digital divide is still very much a reality in Europe. Currently some 20 million homes across Europe cannot access ADSL or cable networks and this will decrease only slightly to 15 million homes by 2010. That’s why Eutelsat and ViaSat have joined forces to deliver a new system for two-way broadband services.
No more waiting on terrestrial suppliers
All you need is an exterior Tooway™ satellite dish (similar in size to an ordinary TV satellite dish) and an in-house modem. There are no surprises with Tooway™ either, you just ‘plug-and-play’ without having to worry about additional software installations or cumbersome hardware. Once you are set up, you can benefit from broadband Internet at unequalled download speeds.
Get the package that suits your needs
Whether for just personal use, or the whole family, Tooway™ has been designed to meet individual requirements. Our range of packages provides you with different options of data volumes, so you can upgrade or downgrade Tooway™ depending on your needs.
Tooway™ your way
Tooway™ doesn’t offer a ‘one-size-fits-all’ Internet broadband service. We believe in choice, because we understand that different criteria play a big part in your Internet access needs.
Basic, Bronze, Silver and Gold packages
The Tooway™ service is graded in four different packages: Basic, Bronze, Silver and Gold, with a Fair Access Policy designed to ensure that exceptional usage by a few customers does not negatively impact on the normal usage of other customers.
The four different service packages have been tailored to fit the varying requirements of home-users, offering downlink speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps in both the Ka-band and Ku-band configurations. Uplink speeds are available at up to 384 kbps. Overnight usage volumes are discounted by 50% between midnight and 6am GMT to reward use of the satellite network at times of traditional low usage.
End-user tariffs will be defined by local service providers partnering in the distribution of the Tooway™ service.
