Satellite internet service is a great
choice for those can't get DSL or cable modem internet access.
If you're a residential or business internet consumer who can't
utilize more cost effective high-speed internet access (perhaps
you live in the country or travel in an RV frequently), such as
DSL or cable modem access, then you should consider investing in
a satellite internet system.
If this describes you, then let us tell you about the high-speed,
satellite internet company, Direcway. This company is operated
by Hughes Network Systems, which is the parent company of DirecTV,
and is quickly becoming the most trusted name in satellite internet
service in the United States. With Direcway service, you'll
use an elliptical satellite antenna to receive data from and transmit
information to the internet -- communicating with the Direcway satellite
that orbits in a constant location above the equator in space (in
the geosynchronous orbit).
How satellite internet works
Basically, the system uses an elliptical satellite and uplink
and downlink modems to connect to the internet via a satellite that
is in orbit over the equator.
You can operate your Direcway satellite internet system
from anywhere in the US -- the only requirement is that you have
an unobstructed, clear view to the South (since this is where the
satellite, with which you'll communicate, is in orbit).
You'll never need to tie up your phone line, and best of all,
you'll be able to use the internet at speeds around 10 times faster
than you currently operate at (assuming you now have dial-up service).
You'll be able to receive data at around 500 kbps and transmit it
at around 80-100 kbps. These speeds are a bit slower than
a traditional DSL service connection, so if you are capable of getting
DSL service, we recommend that you do that.
If you want to set up satellite internet service from Direcway,
it will be about two weeks from your initial order until you can
actually use the service. A technician must come to your house
to set it up, since you'll not only receive but will also communicate
with your satellite antenna (this is an FCC regulation).
To get more information or to order satellite internet service
from Direcway, visit one of the retailers listed in the blue box,
in the middle of the page, above.
We also have information on DirecTV, Dish Network, C-band, and
FTA satellite service on this site. New DirecTV and Dish Network
customers can get a free satellite system with new service.
