Hey, VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal, it's basically a low cost shared media system. Found more info on VSAT here, I'd also check out Wikipedia. I'm looking into something like this atm, but in Australia. Here it's said to be fairly low-cost, but don't know what it's like where you are.

In Nigeria here vsat is mad expensive,thank God for fibre though cos i can imagine how much we wld have been paying for internet

Which Fiber Link are you using as I am in need of Fiber Optic Link to replace my VSAT due to high cost of Bandwidth for my ISP Business

Where is ur location?

tunde300us:

Where is your location?

Benin City, Is it workable here?

No,i dont think so .

Gilat is ok. I've used them on a number of my sites, only some of their agents tend to be dubious. Fiber link to benin is workable but expensive. You could holla me on 08024981478 for details.

This guy say he wants something cheap,compared to vsat maybe you should just stick to ur GILAT advise which i know is also a mess up too.

i have been using vsats for my internet connection for over 4 years, i have used iway/mweb for most of the time which is undeniably the best isp in nigeria but extremly expensive since they offer dedicated bandwiths with volume limitations, however i have discovered that using isp abroad is much better and cheaper, just installed 3 sites with a uk internet service provider and they sites are browsing at incredible speeds at affordable rates. 08053917101

for free ?

80,000 Naira for I MB per month looks outrageous to me. Its this price realistic. I was assumming such amount of money would buy you at least 10 mb. For crying out loud what does it cost to surf the web for say 30 minutes in an average internet cafe ?

I would like to get to the bottom of this. Thank in anticipation
