Tooway Beam Closures

Eutelsat, the satellite operator who provide Tooway services, have announced that they will not be taking any new domestic subscriptions from customers in France who are covered by 2 of the main Tooway beams which are now running at full capacity.

The beams in question are 15 and 21 which service large parts of Central, East and South West France. In very broad terms if you are located south of Tours then you are unlikely to be able to subscribe to Tooway. If you are to the North of Tours you may still be able to subscribe although there are significant areas - notably south east of Paris - which are still covered by beam 21.

In light of this announcement we are now recommending SES Astra as the solution of choice for customers looking for satellite broadband in France.

If you would like more information on this or more details of the areas covered by beams 15 & 21 then please don't hesitate to contact us.

Professional tariffs are still available in these areas.

Areas covered fully or in part by beams 15 & 21:


  • Aquitaine
  • Auvergne
  • Bourgogne
  • Centre
  • Champagne-Ardenne
  • Franch-Comte
  • Languedoc-Roussillon
  • Limousin
