  <body>I imagine most of you nowadays in devel&#242;ped nations are using some sort of DSL connection. I was fortunate enough to have had such a service while I lived in the capital, but since i have moved to a small town in the countryside, there is no such service available to me and the local internet center is so bad it is basically useless to me.  So I need to set up a satellite connection.  Now down here that is a tricky proposal.

I need the parabola, which is cheap, and the transmitters (two, one to receive and one to send) and the modem -- those elements are not cheap and will cost me around $2000 US. 

Before I make a move, I was hoping some of the knowledgeable people on this site might have some advice for me regarding the equipment and anything else i might need to know.

Any of you either currently use a satellite connection or have experience with such?  Any info is deeply appreciated. thanks.</body>
