Staying Connected With Satellite Internet
Today, more and more communities want to be connected to the internet; it's not just something for the folks living in the urban and suburban areas any more. In fact, many jobs today are designed with the assumption that employees will have an internet connection at home. Yet, not everybody is within the reach of a regular cable broadband network, which has opened up the way for satellite internet services, one of the latest, coolest ways to connect to the web...from anywhere!
That's right: unlike other terrestrial internet connection methods, anyone in the world can get a satellite broadband internet connection installed as long as they have a clear line of sight between their location and the geostationary satellite many thousands of miles above the Earth. In reality, it's not much more than an extension of the already revolutionary, available-from-anywhere satellite communications network that has been providing telecommunications and TV service for millions of people around the globe for decades. And, just like with all other satellite technologies, you need not do anything more than install a dish on your roof, connect it to a modem (as opposed to a decoder box for TV service), and nothing else.
Satellite broadband provides speeds that completely shatter dial-up speeds: whereas most dial-up connections provide download rates of approximately 54kbps, with your satellite connection you'll be getting between 1Mb and 5Mbps download rates. Consider downloading in less than a second what you have been waiting for several minutes to download until now; and for heavier files, like video, the difference is even more pronounced. That is precisely what has made this technology so popular in recent times, especially in communities that, as aforementioned, are beyond the reach of conventional broadband networks.
Satellite connections to the internet have been hugely popular not only for personal use in remote communities, but also with people constantly on the move, like reporters, for example. Furthermore, it's the only option for sea-faring internet clients, which means that the entire maritime industry has to appeal to a satellite broadband connection to plug in to the net.
With several varieties of service available, there is no internet user that won't go attended by satellite providers. Packages are designed for everybody from the most casual internet surfer, with few downloads, to the most ubiquitous and professional internet user, with massive daily download volumes. Quality of service is unquestionable when you get a connection via satellite, and in case you have any doubts in this respect, there are plenty of providers' sites online where you can compare your current service with a satellite broadband connection. Suffice it to say, you'll be impressed with what you see, and disappointed with what you currently have.
So, don't delay and contact a provider offering installation in your area, for a more reliable and superior quality service. The alternative is being stuck with a crummy dial-up connection from here to eternity, or waiting until a nearby cable provider decides to widen their network's reach...which could be a really, really long wait.
