I think EON offers great value with their service.

They ARE other offers you can use if you want to, e.g. DirecPC from Hughes
(www.direcpceu.com) if you want to pay up to 90 cents per MB received (in
the 90 USD subscription you have just 100 MB traffic).
And the equipment will cost you 1000 USD, not 300 USD.
And you have to pay an activation fee of up to 200 USD.
Great service, uh?
BTW, the same DirecPC service in States is 40 USD per month, unlimited
traffic.

If you really want something proffesional, try NetSatExpress. You'll end up
paying 1500 USD monthly for a 64 kbps CIR receive-only, unlimited traffic.
That's right, 1500 not 15.
And you have to pay a start-up cost of about 8000 USD.(You can check their
prices at http://www.network-service.ru/v5e_dpc/v5_h115.htm )

As you can see EOL does a great job: providing inexpensive Internet access
to Europe.
Keep up the good work, guys!

Regards
Mihai
