- What is Two-Way

Two-Way Internet is the solution for eveyone who is ready for high speed

as long as you have a clear view of the sky.

section of this website.

- Can I use Two-Way
Internet with Windows XP operating system?
While the current versions of Two-Way Internet software were not originally
designed for the Windows XP operating system, we have tested these versions
with XP and found that by following the Windows XP Installation Instructions,
most XP based systems will install and run successfully. Our next release
of Two-Way Internet software will integrate fully with Windows XP.

- How fast is
the Two-Way Internet system?
The experience with Two-Way Internet is astonishing. When comparing
typical activities with a dial-up service, the difference in the amount
of time you'll be waiting to get what you want is night and day.
- You can download software upgrades
in just minutes, versus up to an hour.
- There's no more waiting for web pages
to fully finish loading. They are typically done within a couple
of seconds. Getting your favourite song can be done in less than
the songs length rather than three times as long.
As you can see this is a huge improvement....and
broadband by satellite is the only high speed Internet technology
thats available everywhere in the Middle East.

- How fast is
Two-Way Internet compared to Cable or DSL?
Everyone's Internet technology is based on shared bandwidth, so sometimes
one option will allow you to do things in less time than others. However,
most DSL services limit their speeds to no more than a few times the
computer modem speed, so Two-Way Internet will most likely be much faster
than DSL available in the Middle East region.

- Is there a business
version of Two-Way Internet? If so, how do I get it?
Yes, there is a Business Edition of Two-Way Internet
that allows for multiple seats in an existing LAN-based environment.

Internet work with VPN?
Currently Two-Way Internet works with many VPN clients.

- What if my computer
did not come with a USB port?
Many PC's can be upgraded with a USB port. We recommend adding only
one if all other minimum PC requirements are met.

- Can I use a
PCI card Adapter?
No, The Two-Way Internet Systems are only available with a USB connection.
Back

- Do I still need
a dialup modem and telephone line?
You need a PC modem and connection to a telephone line to commission
your system for the first time only. After that no phone line is needed
for normal operation.
Back

- What is tranmission
latency?
Latency refers to the time it takes for signals to travel to and from
the satellite. This typically creates a sub-second lag. For this reason,
Two-Way Internet may not be ideal for playing some "twitch-games"
or fast acting duplex communications.
Back

- Why is there
a requirement that the Two-Way Internet system be professionally installed?
It is advisable to have it professionally installed for a clear and
interuppted service.

system on a boat or in an RV?
No. The 2Way Internet satellite return system is for fixed installs
only. However, boats filled with advanced gyro-fitted antennas can accommodate
Way Internet.
