I wonder, if this is related in the recent spike in Eutelsat stock price ( FR0010221234 ). It's not mentioned in the article.

Is there a satellite service offering internet connectivity in EU? I spent some time being bounced around the eutelsat web and my takeaway is they don't deal with individuals.

Their Konnect service is supposed to be for home use but that website is bloody awful.

It's geostationary though so ping would be terrible for gaming / video calls but fine for streaming etc.

Thanks! I'll stick to mobile internet then for now.
