Anyone with knowledge/experience with Satellite Internet connections in Colombia???

I am looking for a better and more reliable internet connection for my Cartagena company....i currently have Telcom broadband, but the reliability of the service is in question. So, i am looking into other methods of hi-speed internet connections, and one is the satellite connection. Anyone with experience or knowledge of such an animal????

thanks!

Tejasmarco...i called Hughes, but they dont do out of the US, and their referral only does brazil. I have 2 other options, that have satellites which cover Colombia, and will contact them soon. No indication it will about cost, but i am assuming that it will not be cheap. If it is remotely doable, i will consider it as a business expense and investment and let the company pick up the tab, by itself. Of course, i might just have to get some "blackboxes" that would be able to access the main signal directed my office..or, it may be just wishful thinking on my part....=) will let you know what i find out...

Just my opinion...
