What options are available to connect to the internet, if your ISP is forced to shutdown in circumstances like this?
Some years ago, one could use phone lines and dial up modems. Are these still viable? What about Ham radio?

- AnAfrican 10y agonone really. VSATs may be an option but : - they're highly visible (which makes a physical shut-down easier) - there has been some sort of crackdown (or rather, tax-up-until-it-gets-too-expensive) on the use of said technology. Going further, if your VSAT provider is local, they will probably shut down your service the same way any other ISP has. So Iridium/Thuraya is really the only option.
