Bagwan Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 A friend told me yesterday that he is so sick of the local Internet speeds that he is thinking of buying a dedicated dish, pointing it to one of the satellites and hooking up to a Hong Kong ISP. Is this possible - or legal? If so at what cost? I am not from Barcelona - but I still know nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like traveling from Bangkok to Pattaya via Phuket... The ISP your friend is most likely talking about is Speedcast, a subsidiary of AsiaSat and they use the C band on the Asiasat 4 satellite. It works great and even in the worst of the rains here in Thailand. The only autorised reseller in Thailand is CAT but they add another 100% on the actual direct cost from Speedcast (TiT). I have used the service in Laos and Cambodia with Speedcast direct and they charge about USD250 per month for their Bronze package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
