newbie in cape town

[theking1]

I am moving to the Cape in May and am exploring all my possibilities. I guess some things in SA are different than in NY. I have a Fortec unit twin dishes all which I will bring and hope to be connected to some satellites. (FTA)
Any suggestions from anybody on reasonably phone/internet/anything?
Communications are important on a global basis.
A dialogue would be appreciated. Thanks

An overview of available options is here: http://www.hellkom.co.za/pages/connectivity_options.php

You could visit your satellite provider's site and see if their service has a footprint in South Africa. If not then you could succumb to using one of our ever-expensive local fraudband services

What are your specs - speed and cap etc.
