Well, after getting the 3G module today for the Gigabyte T1028X netbook tablet, I did a speed test.

Considering that is 3G, not bad!

And for comparison, my now 'old' netbook, the Samsung NC10.

Just doubled my speed for $300 a month...

Holy crap dude, that's just ridiculous...have you looked into any satellite ISPs?

[Fuganater]

This is like the best company around. I'm going to do some more digging for one but once you get one you don't change. Setup fee was $950

O_O ...yikes...

I did a little looking, and it looks like you could definitely get actually decent speeds with satellite for lower monthly fees than what you're paying now...it would probably have a pretty hefty initial equipment fee though...crazy that if you buy similar equipment in the US or Europe, the equipment costs ~$130, but if you buy it in Africa it's over $3,000.

Ya I'm already stuck where I am sadly I can't justify buying another setup close to or over $1000

[RogueOpportunist]

Yikes, for 1000$ I'd just go back to buying my smut the old fashioned way.

Wait 'til I go back to school.
Until then....
