Problem with satellite if your downlink is within Egypt.
Conceivably a problem if your providers billing server is in Egypt, even if your downlink is elsewhere, as the RAS probably can't talk to your authorisation server in your billing system...
So let that be a lesson to you if you buy a satellite service as a backup - go to a neighbouring country to get it! :-)
I think if I were buying satellite Internet service from Egypt I would almost certainly choose a UK/Europe hub. There's some benefit to another middle eastern hub for access to middle eastern sites (which might be local due to language and customers), but for me, most of my traffic could be going to the US or Europe, so may as well get a hub in Europe to avoid the somewhat-expensive Egypt to Europe fiber portion.
Yeah, I totally agree. I'm in the UK, I think if I had to look seriously for that sort of backup I'd go with Sweden or Switzerland (due to strong personal freedom there) - pretty certain we fall under the same satellite coverage as them.
