Starting with last year, we saw the devastation caused by the Tsunami. Entire communities were wiped out, leaving people in remote areas without any way to access the world to ask for help. Then, Katrina hit, again, causing such massive destruction, followed by Rita. The result has been cable and DSL service being completely obliterated, with much of it still down. This means people are still in the Mississippi and Louisiana areas without connection to the outside world.

While satellite internet technology can help in a number of situations, this is by far one of the most beneficial. The reason is that unlike traditional internet technology, satellite internet does not use cables. Instead, satellite internet uses a small, 2-way satellite dish.

For the survivors of natural disasters, this means with just two to three hours of labor, a connection to the outside world is made. Although the technology is high-tech, the price can be very affordable. This means people in these devastated areas can still use computers to reach family and friends, letting them know their safety status without it cost a fortune.

Satellite internet also means that police departments, fire stations, hospitals, nursing homes, and other types of businesses can reach whomever they need, no longer being isolated. The computer is connected using an Ethernet to the satellite modem. Once connected and the satellite mini-dish in place, you will have high-speed internet access. Best of all, this connection can be made with a wireless hub, or if you prefer, a router with the satellite modem, connecting wirelessly.

Today, satellite internet service is fast and affordable. With this, individuals in remote areas that have not been able to reach outside resources any other way can connect quickly and reliably.

If you have been one of the victims of the Tsunami, Katrina, or Rita, and find that you still cannot gain access to the internet because of so much damage to the existing infrastructure, then consider satellite internet to get you up and running for a price you can afford. The service provided is exceptional, with each setup being made specifically for the customer so you have top quality service and performance. With satellite internet, you can get in touch with family and friends, making that important connection.

Satellite internet will also provide you with the means for obtaining dental, medical, education, or other types of records destroyed. You can contact people to order supplies, furniture, medication, and so on, simply by connecting to the internet. Rather than feel as if you have been forgotten and isolated because of the natural disaster, use your computer to take back control of your life, putting the pieces back together so you can move forward, not remain stuck where you are. Satellite internet can help you accomplish just that!

Mobile network O2 brought their own brand broadband deals to the market last year, they have three packages: 12.50 per month for the standard up to 8 meg package, 15 a month for the up to 16 meg package or 20 a month for up to 20 meg. All of the three broadband packages have no connection charge, a free wireless router, unlimited download limits and free 24/7 UK based customer services.

Now previously o2 have offered their own contract customers a discount off the usual prices - they will give you a discount of 5 per month off the usual prices if you have an o2 contract, the discount will last as long as you are an o2 customer. This means that the costs of the packages are: 7.50, 10 and 15 - making them very competitive deals.

However as of this week o2 have extended the existing customer discount to their Pay & Go customers - meaning that all those of you with o2 PAYG mobiles can also get a nice 5 off each months broadband rental.

All that the Pay & Go customers need to do it keep their mobile account active by topping up a minimum of 10 every three months - which is a pretty good deal!

So if anyone has the o2 broadband already and is paying full price, it is well worth getting hold of an o2 sim card and making sure you top up 10 every three months to get a tidy little 5 off a month. If you are an existing customer just get in touch with o2 and get your discount now!
