Only answer I can give is that you are using a dish (very slow connection... maybe 400kbs if you're lucky) and 20 systems shared into it. Can only suggest you upgrade to a dsl, cable, or T1 line. As a "Cybercafe", anything less that a 1mbs line I don't think you can call urselves a Cybercafe. Customers go there for the atmosphere and fast service, both from the people and their internet.

But you sound like you may be an offshore / remote location kind of place. Good luck.

can you give us any further details? Like the availability of the services suggested above?

Also for the 24 port switch - you just need to plug the network conenctions into the switch for it to work. The switch by itself will not allow you to share your internet connection around all the machines though - you'd need a router (recommended) or a software NAT or Proxy server (like WinRoute).
