What is the reason for using satellite instead of terrestrial T1/T3/OC3/etc? It sounds like the satellite is much more expensive. Are you in a remote location?

In October we transferred 1.85TBytes of data that if you calculate it down gives 5.5Mbit/sec and our terrestrial rate is CDN $12,500.00 for the first 2Mbit and CDN $3,000.00 for each Mbit or part thereof for the ones over 2Mbit. Therefore we paid for 6Mbit. $12,500.00 + 4 X $3000.00 = $24,500.00 for our bandwidth in October Trent ----------- Trent M.

Are you saying they charge you per MBit per month. Or do they count up how much data you transfer per month and charge you on that?

Are you saying they're charging you in the neighborhood of $375 per megabyte?
