Yes, at this time it is a one-way only satellite
solution. The upload is via phone line to your ISP,
download through the satellite.

There are two levels of service available...
200K/second and 400K/second. We are presently using
the 200K service, but we are thinking of upgrading to
the 400K in the future, especially if any of our
competitors purchase the system.

The initial cash outlay for the system hardware,
software, etc. is P30,000 (about US$625). There is
also a monthly service charge of about P8,000 ($165).

I am the local distributor for DirecPC, so I do
provide the direcpc myself. But, if others wish to
buy the dish they would buy from me, and then they
would also buy an account from any local ISP for the
dialup connection that must be shared with the
DirecPC.

It will work with any ISP.
> Sorry for so many questions.
No need to be sorry! Let me know if you have any
other questions, I'll be happy to share my experiences
with you.
