Get sattelite internet broadband if you can't get regular DSL

If you’re searching on the web for a sattelite internet broadband connection then chances are you can’t get DSL (stands for Direct Subscriber Line) high-speed internet service because you’re too far out in the country.* Sattelite internet service, on the other hand, is available from anywhere in the US.

If you’re a rural dweller who wants to start connecting to the internet at high-speeds, then sattelite internet service probably seems to have been designed with just you in mind. Let us tell you a little bit more about what you’ll need to do to start broadband sattelite internet service.

To connect to the internet via sattelite, you’ll need to get a few pieces of equipment. Specifically, you’ll need the following:

• An elliptical sattelite dish (about 2 x 3 feet in size)
• An uplink modem (to send information)
• A downlink modem (to receive information)
• Coaxial cables to tie it all together

The only requirement for getting broadband sattelite internet service is that you MUST have a clear view to the south. This is because the sattelite with which you’ll communicate is positioned in geostationary orbit, which is located above the equator.

The best sattelite internet service we’ve discovered is called Direcway, and it’s operated by Hughes, owners of Direct TV sattelite service.

If you’re NOT a rural dweller, then we recommend that you get DSL service instead of broadband sattelite internet service – it’s much cheaper per month

*You see, to be eligible for DSL service, you must be within 18,000 feet (3.4 miles) from a telephone company central office. If you’re any further away than this amount from the central office, then there is a noticeable drop in quality. Broadband sattelite internet service has no such restriction.
