Those days, 2 ISP's had 64Kbps each, via satellite, for all their customers. A year or so later, they merged, and as 1+1 goes, they now had 128Kbps, for the entire country. It wasn't until about 2002 that ISP's in the region began purchasing at least 1Mbps of (downlink satellite) bandwidth. Back then, you normally bought half of your downlink bandwidth for the uplink, and average pricing was anywhere between US$7,000 - US$13,000 for the priviledge, depending on which satellite provider + ISP combo on "the other side" you managed to hustle up.
