I bought the SES Broadband system from Europasat in April 2014 for use at a holiday home in central France. I was attracted by the PayAsYouGo option, because it seemed to suit the intermittent usage we would require, making several visits per year to the property. Broadband down a telephone line would cost me quite a bit each and every month, whether in residence or not. Mobile broadband was not feasible, because of the absence of 3G transmitters in our sparsely populated area. i found I could install the SES system (dish and receiver) myself, though it did require intermediate DIY skills and understanding of the technology. The send and receive signal strengths were adequate, and the speed usable for regular browsing and streaming Skype voice calls. I have not tested streaming of video material, but suspect that the bandwidth would not be adequate by the standards we are used to with optical cable at home. My major disappointment is that the £7 for 1GB for 30 days PAYG is not really that: your £7 only covers you to your next monthly payment date (I pay ZERO on the given date). If I arrive at the house just a few days before this date, then I just get those few days' use for the £7 then have to buy another top-up. This system would make sense for a small additional top-up on a monthly contract, but doesn't seem fair when PAYG is your only use, and you use no more than one GB in a month. To rate the system as 5 stars, I would want the payment system improved, and the bandwidth increased. Overall, however, the system has solved my broadband needs in that place at a cost lower than any competing offering. The major difference is the need for the considerable up-front investment in the hardware.
