Satellite Internet?

[henkk78]

Has anyone used EvoSat? www.evosat.com

Or any other mobile satellite internet solutions?

There's absolutely nothing about EvoSat's pricing on their website...

? Unless you meant something else by host local, other than their website?

 

[Ou grote]

looks interesting, however :

You can connect via laptop to your corporate network at speeds up to half a megabit per second – 492 kbps

Why do you wanna use satelite?

It's for a client in rural Eastern Cape. GPRS is not working too well...

Is it ICASA approved?

Why not get a high-gain directional antenna? would probably work like a charm

Okay,

So here's the pricing from EvoSat:

Wait for it...

4.25 USD per MB.

Yep, that's right. $4.25 per MB.

And that's the basic, Geo option... $6.25 for Standard option.

My reply to salesman

Here's my reply to EvoSat's salesman:

Thanks Gary,

Although I realise your satellites are in Outer Space, I think I'm going to go for Telkom's more earth-bound pricing.

Best regards,
Henk

You are welcome!

But what does all this have to do with ADSL?

Are you considering this as compared to ADSL?

Well, yes, I am. No ADSL available in Nieu Bethesda...
