I'm told that the NERA Satlink system is by far the best, then again, it's the most expensive
DW6000 - US$ $500-1000 depends on contract.
Cheap system, nice for simple internet browsing, but DirecWay stopped the activations on the caribbean satellites, sometimes we can "takeover" a contract, very bad and slow upload.
Download speeds (according to DW): 1000k , upload 20-80k
Normal speeds (tested): Download +/- 350k, upload 5-30k
Monthly US$69 and up.
DW7000 - US$1500-2500 depends on contract.
Latest model, middle priced system, can be activated in the Caribbean, but needs a very big dish 1.8-2.4m to get a stable signal (with additional transportation costs $1500-2000), still lacks stable upload speeds, SIP-VOIP is almost not possible, due to over crowded systems.
Download speeds (according to DW): 1000k , Upload 50-128k
Normal speeds (tested): Download +/- 600k, upload 10-50k
Monthly $99 and up.
NERA Satlink - US$4,420 Installed
Professional system, quite expensive, uses a small 1.2m dish
All kind of gadgets work right away, 98% stable connection, lot of options as, accelerators, networking, SIP-VOIP etc etc.
Download speeds (specs): 1536k , Upload 512k
Normal speeds (tested): Download 1300-2000k, upload 480-540k
Monthly $399.
