Satellite internet... help!

[AntiThesis]

Hi all

I'm trying to look into replacing my ex ADSL with a satellite setup. Anyone know

a) if it'sworth it?
b) what the prices are?
c) who's the best to go with?

a) Not really, its very expensive for uncapped bi-directional satellite (+- R3k per month with 24 month contract)
b) As above, uncapped from R3k per month. I think you can get capped (1 gig) from Telkom for about R1000
c) Probably Sentech for uncapped.

If you go with one way satellite (dialup/isdn/adsl + satellite) try infosat/mweb maybe?
