Excellent skype connection over satellite broadband Internet helps to stay in touch with my parents.

Last weekend I visited my parents in Poland. I tested a new installation of Tooway satellite broadband Internet. I was very curious about the result as due to typical for satellite latency you might experience an echo effect, but fortunately it was not the case. Our video skype call with my wife in the Netherlands had an amazing quality! My dad was very happy that from now on we will be able to enjoy video skype calls. In 2007 I gave my dad for his 80th birthday a  laptop with internet mobile connection. Unfortunately, due to a very poor mobile coverage outside Krakow a maximum internet speed was below 300 kbps and Skype calls were not possible. When a few months ago I have heard about the planned launch of Tooway satellite broadband internet in Poland I decided to try it out. I ordered it at the Tooway distributor for Poland including the dish installation. Our first video skype call has by far exceeded my expectations. According to my father the sound quality was even better than over the phone. It is not a cheap solution - a dish costs 1700 PLN ( ca 425 Euro), installation 600 PLN and the subscription of a base package (6Mbps download, 1Mbps upload) costs 122 PLN (30 Euro) a month. But considering such a great video skype experience it is definitely worth the investment.
