By The Europasat offers in France
Europasat is not the owner of the satellites it provides, rather it is a distributor of the satellites created by the company Tooway. These satellites provide speeds of up to 50Mbps download and 6Mbps upload.
This type of technology will be ideal for any home or second home in France set in a remote location, where Internet via ADSL or fibre is not yet available.
Any household can sign up for this technology, as long as they have an unobstructed view of the satellite, towards the Southern-Southern Eastern sky, and are able to connect their satellite material to a source of energy.
Choosing a Europasat package
Every Europasat offer comes with an unlimited volume of data. The only factor which varies from an offer to an offer, and justifies prices differences, is the Internet speed. As shown below, you have the choice of 3 Internet via satellite offers: the Konnect Bronze, Silver and Gold.
| Name | What the offer includes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Konnect Bronze | Up to 16 Mb/s speed in priority traffic | €29.99/month |
| Konnect Silver | Up to 30 Mb/s speed in priority traffic | €39.99/month |
| Konnect Gold | Up to 50 Mb/s speed in priority traffic | €69.99/month |
| How to subscribe | Visit Europasat website or request a free callback |
To determine which of these offers will be best for you, consider the following indications:
Suitable for basic Internet use (browsing online, checking emails).
Best suited to heavier Internet use (streaming, downloading content).
Best for larger households and very frequent Internet uses, with streaming and download in High Definition.
Fair use policy: Europasat may reduce Internet flow for bigger consumers to guarantee equitable access for all users. Europasat reserves itself the right to restrict, suspend or terminate the subscription of any excessively large consumers, without prior notice.
The Europasat satellite equipment
A Europasat kit will include a dish, a modem and cables. The total cost to purchase all these is fixed to €229.99 for the Bronze kit, and €469.99 for Silver and Gold kits.
If you would rather rent the equipment, you will have to pay €5 per month for the Silver and Gold offers - the rent is free for Bronze packs.
Also note that, regardless of the offer you choose and whether you opt for purchase or rental, you will have a €49.99 commissioning fee to pay along with your first bill.
On a side note, if you ever wish to increase the range of your modem, Europasat can provider you with a free basic router of the brand Asus (for small to medium houses), that you can complete with another higher-end router of the same brand for €99.95.
If you already have your kit, contact Europasat at +33365060270 to see if it is compatible with their solutions. Even if this is the case, you will still have to pay a commissioning fee.
Europasat gives you the option to get your equipment installed by one of its professional partner installers. This is possible wherever you live in France, except for the departments 5, 7, 15, 19, 23, 26 and 20. For these areas, Europasat will cover the installation up to €230 with tax. The installation of TV equipment (LNB installation, cable etc.), however, remains your responsibility.
