Ku can be susceptible to extreme rainy conditions. 
However, in some parts, like northern Africa, the 
effects of bad weather on a Ku band service won't be as 
severe as in the sub-Saharan region.

If you can manage to have a C-Band service, suggest you 
go for it. Cost of (IP) service on this frequency band 
comparable to Ku band service. Ku is mostly cheaper for 
the service provider, but whether they pass that savings 
on to you is another story.
