Those are good links Bob. Thanks for the info.

Satellite has some good download speeds for the price I am sure.

Satellite internet might pose a little problem due to atmospheric conditions and other factors.

Check out signal latency and rain fade at the beginning of beginning of the article.

From personal experience, my DSL connection has been ROCK solid in all types of weather (heavy rainfall and cloud cover as well) conditions for over 3 years.

Just something to consider as well.

cheers…

Here is a site that groups several satellite providers that would cover Belize:

Hope this helps; I saw one of the providers was $179 a month.

Welcome to “Belize Time” and BTL MONOPOLY.

They are upgrading the network system here and I am having issues with my modem at the moment. However, I know people that work at BTL and they are personally helping me to resolve the problem faster.

Another important lesson you need to learn while living in Belize.

Its WHO YOU KNOW………………………haha!

Trust me, if you have connections or family members in important places things tend to go faster. Other than that, you are at the mercy of whatever and whoever:(

Anyway, best of luck to you and I hope you get everything resolved quickly.

cheers…….
