amkahal wrotem_zeid wroteand what do you think? is it overpriced or reasonable?
What about satellite internet? I'm certain that 2 way is illegal, but what about one way (only download) ?
it's for bekaa, i think it's lower for Beirut and the suburbs. the mentioned price is an average between ISPs.
as for satellite, i'm interested if you know something, but what what upload fees ??
I was looking to solution that gives me a good internet connection, one of the concepts is 2 connections with load balancing on cisco router and maybe other configurations.
So mainly I'll use a 4M adsl from some reliable ISP (latency wise) + other a Satellite connection.
I was looking for 1 way connection but found non, for a list of sat ISPs :

It's on KA-SAT (from Eutelsat) which covers my area i believe, check this map:

Look at this plan, you will get 20mbps for download speed, how is that for your downloads and torrents? and 10GB limit for peak times and unlimited offpeak, like we what have in lebanon unlimited night traffic.
Still have to contact them to understand more about data usage and if we can get a plan without upload which must also lower the price.
Hey did i mention it? all of this for only 40$ !!
the only con here is the installation cost and trouble.
