When we started TICSA (Internet Africa/Verizon/whatever), we went with a 9600 bps satellite link to New Jersey specifically because the SAT-2 fibre had just been installed and traffic was being moved off satellite. The satellite folk were getting *very* nervous, and gave us a heavily discounted service provided we had a 5-year contract that specified that they service *had* to run over satellite. Job insurance. As our requirements grew, we added fibre connections. Eventually the telco canceled the satellite connection as they were starting to focus on VSAT.
There's no denying... they well-and-truly made their money :-). If I think back to what we paid for 192Kbps up, 320Kbps down, it may make all the grown folk on this list cry in :-). Mark.
