Bandwidth - To make broadband more affordable, we provide our bandwidth services with contention ratios suitable to individual requirements. The smallest capacity starts from 64/192 with a shared contention ratio of 1:16 at $300.00 per/month – We have realized that most clients want Vsat connectivity for browsing AND voice. Cheap solutions mean higher contention (sharing), and higher contention kills voice.
Ours is the only firm that announces it's Contention Ratio and does not "cap" capacity - We do not have monthly quotas where a client is surprised at the end of the month with an additional bill. Needless to say that dedicated means that if ALL the subscribers are using at the SAME TIME than you would receive the basic minimum - BUT we all know that not all users have the same habits so fair speeds are assured.
Typical rates for a 128k uplink / 384k downlink with a shared contention ratio of 1:16 = $550 per/month
