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.

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.

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
