[Gllug] Satellite net access

Does anyone have experience of satellite net access in the UK? Having
spent the week in the wilds of Santa Pod, there are no fixed phone
lines, and mobile coverage is patchy at best, so net access was tricky.

Satellite would appear to be the obvious solution. What hardware would
I need? Ideally I'd want to avoid a huge fixed dish. Can you get
portable (briefcase sized) dishes? Do they work well? Which providers
should I look at? Google gives a load of options, but it's always good
to hear first hand reports from satisfied (or dissatisfied) customers
to help the decision making process. We have a generator, so power
isn't a problem.

Are there any other solutions to look at apart from satellite? We will
potentially be travelling around Europe next year, so something that
worked outside of the UK as well would be good (primarily in the
Scandinavian countries at the moment).
