Satellite Internet

When it comes to Internet rural areas, the option has typically been dial up or no Internet. Even in areas that receive cable television, broadband is often not offered, and DSL speeds are dependent on proximity to the provider, meaning that most rural users will pay high prices for low speeds. One thing many rural users do not know about is satellite Internet.

Satellite Internet uses the same technology as satellite television to beam signals through the airwaves, making the service available to anyone whose home has an area with a clear view of the southern sky. The speeds of satellite Internet are anywhere from one to three megabytes per second, making it highly comparable to broadband with the benefit of being available anywhere. In addition, the service works with both PC and Mac computers and uses your existing web browser. With this service, the only thing you will have to adjust to is how quickly your pages load. Downloads are significant faster than dial up, with a file that would take over an hour on dial up downloading in less than two minutes with satellite Internet.

Satellite Internet is installed by well trained professionals in only a short time. Your computer is ready for satellite Internet with no upgrades provided it has a USB or Ethernet port available. Wireless networking is also remarkably simple with satellite Internet. In fact, the service works using any major name networking equipment, and requires only a wireless router and that any computers be equipped with wireless networking cards, which are remarkably easy to install and can be internal or external.

With satellite Internet, the hassles of dial up are long gone. Never again will customers have to wait while their computer dials a number and tries to authenticate a signal. Users will also not have to worry about missing important phone calls while they are online or have to pay extra for a second phone line just to support the times that they are online. There is also no getting "bumped off", and customers do not have to worry about a busy signal because the provider has reached the maximum number of users. In short, satellite Internet is always on and always available for use.

Thanks to satellite Internet, rural customers finally have access to high speed Internet with a reliable connection. This means that these customers are finally able to experience fast downloads and video streaming that would be impossible with dial up service. Unlike other methods, it does not require burying wires or running cables from the nearest box all the way to your home, which can save thousands. Because it runs only through the airwaves, satellite service is remarkably inexpensive to maintain, and since repairs are done remotely there are hardly ever long waits when a problem occurs.

Satellite Internet is simply a better option. Whether you live in a rural area or just want a better option, satellite Internet may be just what you are looking for. No longer do you have to wait for dial up to connect and load a page. With satellite Internet, you can just click and surf, making it one of the best and most affordable high speed Internet options for people almost anywhere.
