The speed is about 28 KBPS up and 600 KBPS down.<br /><br />DSL service from the local telephone company is available in major population centers - but it is horribly expensive compared to most other countries. The maximum speed available is 256 up by 512 down and this costs a whopping US$250. a month. <br /><br />DSL doesn't run very far from the phone switch. So I would guess satellite would be the only thing available in Camelot. There does seem to be a cable plant going out to Camelot but I can't see where it has data; probably just video.<br /><br />But Belmopan is only 10 Km away, sounds like a good bicycle might be a worth while mode of transportation. Or a moped depending on the price and availability of petrol. <br /><br />An Indian pedicab running on propane might be a big deal locally. Basically a three wheel moped with a flat bed behind the driver.<br /><br />The village roads look a tad rough, but the Western Highway looks pretty good.<br /><br />Take good care of each other,<br /><br />Ede.huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775982505979593127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649066465962929317.post-63538452571177252452011-04-01T17:07:52.014-07:002011-04-01T17:07:52.014-07:00Best of luck.
