We don't have access to reasonable speed via terrestrial. The entire Yukon Territory has less than 45Mbit of data and we're only 1 of the many ISP's here trying to use it. We have only 1 terrestrial Internet provider and they use fibre, copper and microwave to get to our link to the lower Canadian provinces.
We're investigating our own radio connection into Alaska right now to see if we can get bandwidth from there. It's just not a good situation. Trent ----------- Trent M.

It sounds like the satellite is much more expensive. Are you in a remote location? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Trent M. Davenport Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 10:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] OT - Satellite Bandwidth They track all our total bytes transferred, divide it by the number of days, divide it down to number of bytes/sec then convert it to bits to give us our monthly Mbit/sec/month Got our reports. 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?
