The Equator and internet service??
Does being closer to the equator have anything to do with internet service? Up North it could be raining, sleeting, snowing cats and dogs and I ALWAYS had internet service. Here in Florida, EVER...

Find a single ISP using a sat link for a bunch of users- you will not, because it does not exist.
So you have surveyed EVERY little podunk ISP in the whole country and none of them find that connecting their few customers to somebody else's backbone by sat or a long radio haul is the best solution for them ?? Somehow I don't think you really posses that knowledge.
Boy, you just keep digging it deeper, don't you. Just in case you have forgotten:

That is simply, 100% wrong. Unless you are an end user with a sat uplink, it simply is not done, for all of the reasons I, and other have patiently pointed out. Now, if you want to change your story to include terrestrial radio- I said nothing about that.
FWIW, while I'm not an expert, I have been online since well before the Internet, on the Internet before it was publicly accessible (via a University shell account, back when a lot was gopher:// ), had my website (hand coded) since 1999, have a good friend who had a T1 line and 150 phone lines in to his garage. I also am subscribed to, and sometimes even read, a number of IT professional magazines. So I am not totally without a clue- the clue train stops at my door every day (in deference to another early adopter).
