hey you to too new to be actin like that you know

[Syam]

Hey mario wait a minute, u are saying that a VSAT license is that expensive?
I believe that a 512k satellite internet from Skynet is like only $400 TT permonth.
Or even less I believe it could be $200 TT. Last time i checked it was rather cheap.

But the licnese you say is so expensive
Give us some more info on that VSAT I think you might be mistaken there is no way it can be that expensive.

[mario2001]

i dont believe that you need a liscense from the T+t governmet to operate it ....i have done some reserch on the vsat and i learnt that not all operaters deliver the service they promise ...i was told that the reason the service provider that i am considerin prices are that high is because they try to limit the amount of shared reasources on their network to a ratio of 20 to 1 ( i have no idea what they mean)

but i have read reviews and i am impressed

You really did your research, my gosh that's expensive. I"m thinking you could probably get a direct fiberline from TSTT with all that money and rental. Then again it's TSTT. Have you tried the other wireless providers? I'm sure one of them will help out out considering the amount your willing to put out. Please note that next year taxes and import duties on equipment related to wireless internet will be removed. This is part of government's plan for TnT to have wireless broadband at a cheaper price, so there's hope in the not too distant future.

I remember reading an article saying in Trinidad a VSAT license is hard to obtain.

but anyway here is what I found out about your 20:1 ratio satellite internet

Monthly bit rate rental is specified, for example, as 512k down / 64k up shared 20:1. This means that when you are downloading a file the speed may be up to 512k bit/s. With 30:1 sharing you will find that for much of the time the available bit rate is lower - as other people will be using the capacity at the same time. In shared arrangements there are often monthly download and upload limits (measured in G bytes per month) per customer, so that one user cannot block everyone else. Such "fair-use" policies can be complex and, for example, may allow 250 Mbytes to be downloaded with such activity then followed by 24 hours of restricted low speed 50kbit/s service. Such policies vary greatly from one service provider to another

But a good question mario how much is 512k broad band satellite internet in trinidad?
And how much does the equipment cost?

[Syam]

Yess please mario post any info about the price on satellite internet.

by the way Mario have you considered green dot?
They have a package for $420 for antenna internet 256k

Their equipment costs around $1200 TT for the antenna dish and modem

But I hear Green dot sucks is this true?
Has anyone here ever used green dot and do they really suck badly?
Or a little bit.


green dot website www.mail.tt

ell where i live its very mountainous so that rules out gettin a direct line tfrom tstt i live in a valley thats behind another vally ....so that eliminates service providers like wow net and roofnet and lisa ......its nottin short of a miricle that i get tstt wirelessbroadband coverage ....the project manager Mr henery Kumar was positive id never get service at home ...but with a proper external antenna and signal booster and 200feet of ultra low lost cable i am gettin low service ...currently i am usin a 11bd external yagi antenna and if i do not decide to go VSAT rite away i am considerin upgrading to an 17bd panel antenna

[Syam]
