 I'm pretty sure we're alsmot the 1st ones in France having this setup. We 
have this for about 3 months now I think.

 It's pretty expensive. We're a company. I'm not a home user. I think the 
linkstar is around 1000€. But the internet bandwith is hight speed (high ping
of course), and is pretty much the same compared to a xDSL line. Only the
hardware is expensive. But that's just echo I heard. I wasn't in charge of
ordering/paying this. I'm just a user of this technology.
 
 I think we'll have to wait and see what astra proposes for home users.
