How Tooway Satellite Broadband Works
How it works
Connect your computer via satellite with Tooway™ to a super fast link to the main internet backbone. The mini-dish and modem are all you need for the 10.2 Mbps broadband service which is available everywhere in Europe to everyone regardless of locations - and you don't even need a phone line.
Typical User Profiles

Fair Access Policy
Tooway™ is a very fair product. Users are charged according to their needs, so lighter users get a fairer deal than with other traditional broadband suppliers.
Tooway™ guarantees all our users an experience equal to high speed Internet access. The Tooway™ service has a unique Fair Access Policy (FAP) to control excessive use and to enforce the subscription levels. Excessive users speed becomes limited when they exceed a certain threshold of transferred data volume in any given time period.
The FAP feature protects regular users' high quality connectivity from excessive use by just a few users. The volume limit depends on the service package you have subscribed to. Without this important automatic feature up to 80% of the available bandwidth on the network would be consumed by 20% of the customers.
If your connectivity is slowed due to sending more data than the account you have chosen there is no need to worry – you can;
- Upgrade to the next package
- Buy a volume booster token just for that month
- Wait until your usage level falls below the FAP
Below is how the FAP translates for each account package. Remember, we will never cut you off, and shortly you'll soon be able to monitor your monthly data usage on line through our website.

Green Broadband - Tooway™ is environmentally friendly
Satellite broadband is the most eco-friendly way to communicate over large distances. Tooway™ offers the most cost effective way to provide scalable broadband communication to remotelocations and rural communities, and installing Tooway™ is kind to the countryside as well.
With Tooway™ there are no unsightly masts, towers or aeriels and we don’t have to uproot your property. Therefore, the natural landscape and wildlife is in no way disturbed to connect you to super fast broadband. Satellite broadband needs no energy-expensive civil engineering works to every house, and no unsightly street cabinets unlike its wired counterparts.
One single satellite sitting in space consumes little to no fuel to run and can serve entire continents. Tooway™ satellites run on 100% solar energy and the complete satellite launch process, using hydrogen powered engines, generates about the same amount of CO2 as a normal US coast-to-coast airline trip on a Boeing 747.
Tooway™ satellites will remain in service once launched for 15 years.
ToowayDirect has green credentials too:-
- Over 20% of our company's energy is generated onsite using solar panels.
- What energy we can't generate onsite we source from Good Energy.
- We recycle all our business waste including packaging of all satellite equipment and old customer equipment.
- We're committed to improving our green credentials by at least 20% per annum.
