Satelite internet goes mainstream. The
newest option in highspeed broadband may well be your best
choice.
Not long ago satelite internet was considered the
last resort for consumers looking to enter the world of
highspeed Internet access. But now, thanks to aggressive
marketing and competitive pricing, Internet access via a
satelite dish has hit the mainstream.
Satellite Internet, or satellite broadband,
allows you to surf at DSL or cable Internet speeds using a
satelite dish antenna for two way data communications to the
Internet and therefore does not require the use of your
telephone line or cable system. With satellite Internet you can
talk on your phone while accessing the WEB so you’ll never miss
important calls and your surfing won’t be interrupted. And,
unlike dialup Internet access, multiple users can access your
new Internet connection at the same time, so your kids can do
their homework research while you play Internet games with your
friends.
Like DSL or ADSL, a big advantage of satellite
Internet is that it is ‘always on’. You can just sit down in
front of your computer and start surfing. No waiting for a modem
to dialup and no logging on. You can surf the Internet as long
as you want, when you want, because satelite broadband has
unlimited usage. And it’s so fast you can download audio and
video files and enjoy them as they’re downloading.
In addition to satellite Internet, your system
can also be configured to receive satelite TV service. When
bundled together, these services can offer substantial savings
over DSL or ADSL.
Techie Stuff
Satellite Internet uses advanced encryption
technology to handle your sensitive data and protect your
privacy. You can relax, knowing your satelite broadband
connection is secure and safe from hackers!
Just about all it takes to receive satellite
Internet is a clear, unobstructed view of the southern sky,
making satelite broadband available anywhere in North America
not served by DSL or ADSL, even Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands. The satelite dish antenna gets mounted
on or near your home and connects via coaxial cable to a
satellite modem. The modem interfaces with your PC through an
Ethernet or USB port. The satellite dish uploads and downloads
to a satellite in geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the
equator. The satellite communicates with a hub facility directly
connected to the Internet.
