Satellite Internet Forum

[islandboy79]

Hello,
I've emailed around to several providers in an attempt to find a provider that has coverage in Fiji. I've already gotten 2 no's and others (like Speedcast) have not responded.

Does anyone know of satellites that provide coverage for Fiji? Or do I live in that tiny corridor of the world that may never get high-speed coverage. The local government internet monopoly has high-speed capability, yet is keeping everyone on dial-up to milk line charges for their sister company.

I was hoping to circumvent them with a satellite dish. Your help would be greatly appreciated,

If you ever find out about getting satellite based internet in fiji do you mind letting me know the cost. Connect is WAY to expensive and it dosn't look like we will be getting any more ISP's anytime soon...

I believe that New Skies satellite has spot beams available, but were looking at 3 xpndrs that need to be leased, maybe a cooperative is in order here.
