Lebanon has really poor connectivity, at least in the area where the house is.
There's a satellite link available at the office, but I'm wary of download large files there, as the charges for going over the limit are horrendous.
Egypt is nearly as bad, as while you can get 3G connectivity with decent speeds, the charges are pretty high, and until the exchage hooks up up with a landline, we can't even get dialup, let alone DSL.
And there are no Cafe's nearby where you can go use the Wifi as the Factory is in an Industrial area. You have to go about 20-30 Miles to get to the city, and its not really economical, dispite the cheap gas prices there (You can usually fill up the tank for $10-15)
