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...

so actually satellite internet should be best at the equator .... assuming that is where the satellite transmission beam is aimed.
BAD assumption.
The satellites are located and the "beam is aimed" at the point of largest population density. There just ain't much worthy of commercial interest in the band around the earth where central and south Florida is located.....except maybe Miami. There are almost NO paying customers located on the equator.
And it IS all about money. The won't provide satellite service to an area where there is nobody to pay for it.
