Why shoud I get satellite internet
If you are frustrated with the speed of dial up and you are NOT able to get DSL or cable internet in your area then you should consider broadband satellite internet service. With satellite internet access you get an ‘always on’ dedicated connection which means no logging in, no dialing in, no waiting and no tied-up phone lines.
Is satellite internet service faster?
It's relative. Satellite internet access is about 25-30 times faster than normal dial up but slower than most DSL services and slower yet than ALL cable internet services.
Do I need a telephone or dial up modem?
No. No phone line and/or dialup modem is required for normal operation of a two-way satellite internet system.
What if DSL or cable service is available?
If DSL or cable is available in your area then we recommend you choose either of these high speed options before considering satellite internet service. There are a number of reasons: monthly cost (satellite internet is about twice as expensive), download speed, and additional equipment required. The truth of the matter is that most people who get satellite internet service do so because it is the only way to get high speed internet access in their area.
