What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept payment through PayPal (which allows you to pay via your bank accounts or credit cards), Electronic Funds/Wire Transfer from your bank to our bank, Cash, Western Union and credit cards – Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
Does your service support on-line gaming?
The challenge with some on-line games is that that they are designed for somewhat instantaneous back and forth action. Latency is inherent with all VSAT services. So, games that do not require immediate interaction work best. Note however, general web surfing, downloading and uploading data (documents, photos, music, etc.) and e-mail communications do not have any issues.
Does your service support web cameras (web cams)?
We offer several plans that are able to accommodate the need for web cams.
I already have VSAT equipment. Do I have to buy new equipment from you?
The answer is may-be. We currently offer the HughesNet VSA Remote Internet Modem HN7700s. If you have this model or a predecessor to this model, you may be able to reuse the equipment while using our service. We will work with you to determine if your existing equipment is re-usable.
Can I share my service with other users? Do I need additional equipment to share my service?
Sharing is the best way to also share the cost of the service. We can provide you with the networking equipment needed and also establish your network of the service if you desire.
How long does it take to get my Internet service in Iraq?
Delivery and installation usually takes about 3-4 days. Whether you follow our straight forward self-installation instructions or we mange the installation of your service, you’ll be up and running in no time! However, depending upon your location and security situation, delivery can be longer. We will work with you at the time of ordering to provide you with a proper date expectation.
Can I install the service myself? Can Abcosat install the service?
The answer is Yes to both questions. We offer simple directions and 24 x 7 Customer Support for self-installation which is fairly straight forward. However, many of our clients prefer that we come to their location to establish the service. Our local team will have you up and running quickly.
Can you help us establish our LAN?
Yes. Abcosat can provide you with the equipment and personnel to help you establish your LAN. Abcosat also offers professional IT consulting for network design, installation and configuration for your telecommunications and networking needs. Contact Us and we can determine how to best serve your needs.
We can ship directly to many camps within Iraq, however, for installation we have to be escorted inside many camps as our personnel are civilians and cannot get into a military base without an authorized escort.
