High
Speed Satellite Broadband
You can have Internet access not only through dial-up, DSL, or
cable connection; another way for you to get connected to the
Internet would be through satellite broadband services.

Satellite broadband
technology employs satellite dish network for data communication and provides speeds
that is almost similar to other broadband technologies.
Satellite works by sending commands from users to a satellite in
the orbit which is many thousand miles away . From there, the
signal travels back thousand miles to earth directly to the
satellite provider and routed to the internet. When the data is
exchanged, it then travels back a thousand miles back to the
satellite and when it receives the data, the information then
travels back again to earth a thousand miles, now directly back
to the user.
Internet connection via satellite broadband can
produce speeds up to 2 Mbit/s (downstream) and 1 Mbit/s
(upstream).
Why
choose Satellite Broadband?
The reality is that DSL service or cable connectivity is not
meant for all people, most especially in the rural areas and
remote places.
This is because in order to pass DSL eligibility requirements,
the customer should be within 18,000 feet from the phone
company; in terms of cable Internet access, they do not cover
all cities or areas so the only way for people to get broadband
Internet access would be through satellite broadband. Compared
to dial-up you can still get a significantly higher speed and
enjoy browsing web pages comfortably as it is faster by more
than 35 times.
