底下评论里面有用户给出了海事卫星的参考估价
Is there VSAT coverage there? I know in the marine industry, we pay for a fixed speed and bandwidth is unlimited. IIRC a fixed 2 Mbps was around 3000 - 5000 US and 5 was something like 8-10 000 per month. It also came with VOIP with very reasonable rates depending on the county being called.
The rates could usually be negotiated and could probably find cheaper providers.

Yep, that's the price of satellite broadband. Even using the older systems like fleetbroadband you are in to $20/MB (with less than dial up speeds). You can bring that down to 4$/MB however at that point you are paying for yearly subscriptions that will cost almost as much as VSAT.
2Mbps 无限流量 3000-5000刀每月
5Mbps无限流量 8000-10000刀每月
