In Central America Using Isotropic Networks (Score 1)

I live off the grid in central america and have been using satellite internet for the last year or so. For about $2500 you can get a used system consisting of an antennae (2M) LNB, and 4Watt BUC and used VSAT modem Isotropic Networks provides the service. They have a variety of options for speeds and parity. (isosat.net) Having a big dish and buc makes things like rain less of an issue. Clouds do not effect the signal much (if anything they amplify - according to vsat techs). Based on your location, you will need to determine which is the best satellite to connect to.
