Can anyone recommend any satellite internet service providers in South America able to provide service to home and small business users ?

[chris schwartz]

Hey,
Did you get any answers? I am in Guatemala and the satellite internet dealers here are way too expensive!
Any suggestions

There are two LinkStar networks working out of Rio and Buenos Aires, both by Telespazio, but they serve primarily big businesses in Brazil and Argentina. I'm looking for service providers able to offer service to home and small business users throughout South America. If you know other service providers (even if very high cost) it would be at least useful to know who they are. High costs are essential initially if the networks are to be financially viable as it costs a great deal to set up, to rent the satellite bandwidth and to pay the hub staff - and you start from no customers at all....

I have just found a LinkStar coverage from Bentley Walker for the whole of South America but it does not extend far enough north to cover Guatemala.
I am still looking for a good beam covering the Caribbean and central America, so please, if you know any such service provider say here. Thanks.

I am looking for a satellite system to install about 2 hours from Salvador, in BRAZIL, on a rural farm. Ideally the satellite system would handle Internet and TV. Any suggestions?

Looking for satellite Internet access in the equatorial Brasil, state of Amazon.
The link needs to provide communications among isolated indian villages by missionaries and local
commerce, mainly from Manaus up river toward Peru.

We are already using KU2 band for Latin America if interested in activating Direcway dishes from Mexico to Chile.  It is NOT Direcway service, but we use Direcway equipment.  Bandwidth costs are higher but it does work in ALL Latin Amrica (Except Brazil, check Satmex 5, KU2 coverage).  Let me know if interested at sales@inetconsa.com

For Argentina, you can look at www.ssatelital.com.ar. We use mainly Gilat Skystar 180 platform, but we can also offer i-Direct, both with Nahuel 1A, or Gilat Skystar 360E, using Anik.

For the Skystar platform, our prices start at 220 U$S per month, CPE equipmen included.

Si Ud esta en Ecuador o Colombia y desea tener internet satelital escoja las opciones de operadores registrados en la CONATEL como Quiksat hay planes desde $210 mensual con equipos viasat surfbeam. Otra empresa muy buena es Axxesat de Colombia que activa equipos gilat skystar 360 y skyedge ip-es un alternativa al pesimo servicio que da  Gilat como operador. Otro operador recomendable es COMSAT latinoamerica da servicio empresarial para terminales LINKSTAR e IDIRECT en Banda Ku satelite Satmex5. Y bueno si desea instalar un servicio para ISP para 100 o + pcs un operador bueno es NEW SKIES DO BRASIL con servicio en banda C. Inclusive tienes la posiblidad de usar 2 satelites con una misma antena uno en banda Ku y el otro en Banda C. TENGA CUIDADO CON LAS CIAS VIRTUALES QUE ACTIVAN TRATE CON REPRESENTANTES DIRECTOS EN SU PAIS O EL MISMO TELEPUERTO. Tenga cuidado con empresas no registradas y virtuales y que no le dan factura ni soporte local. hay varias como Ecuasat.net.ec, Conexiaglobal,.com, etc etc. 1000 +
