'ADSL' in marinas
ADSL is much cheaper abroad than in the UK. Retail prices  in Antibes, where YOG have an office, are the equivalent of £19.99 a month.  Compare that to  £27.99 a month in the UK.   Attempts are being made to get the IYCA to upgrade the phone lines to ADSL. It is not a question of the yacht doing it, as the yacht is actually billed  by the IYCA and not France Telecom.  In the UK some marinas are going down the wireless route but we don't see how the signal is going to get through all those masts, unless there are access points everywhere.  Others have failed  by not making enough Access Points, in the name of profit - the Access Points are where the manufacturers make their money.  We know because we have done three BreezeCom ( Israeli )  courses and you can only have so many  PCs per access point.

'ADSL' at sea

ADSL will transform the way you and your crew  use the Internet in the marina, and you can still get it out at sea, by  using  a Seatel Dish coupled with a GB subscription. Download prices we've seen  indicate about $1600  per GB downloaded - but at least it is always on. You will need to use ISDN or Fleet  for the uplink, at extra cost.    ADSL uses a separate frequency that allows voice or fax calls on the same landline line that you use for your broadband connection - even if you are using the Internet at the same time. It can save the cost of a second line, and it will really  add a new range of possibilities to the way you use the NET.   YOG do not sell the big 1.6m Seatel antennas, but work with a company who do. We then make  our equipment work with their dish.  Call us.
