Satellite Internet

High speed satellite internet requires a satellite dish to collect the transmission of data from a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, and coaxial cables from the dish to a modem that you connect to your computer. Your satellite dish must have a clear view of the southern sky for optimum signal reception.

Pros


  • High speed broadband that is always “on”
  • Not required to purchase through a bundled utility service
  • Available in rural areas where cable and DSL are not
  • Does not require a costly cable infrastructure
  • Anyone with a clear view of the southern sky can subscribe
  • Can be used with a wireless router to support multiple users

Cons


  • Initial installation can be costly
  • Packages are generally more costly than other types of internet service
  • Weather can interfere with the broadband strength
  • Slow speeds during peak hours
  • Sudden disconnection due to satellite equipment issues
  • Solar flares and environmental conditions affect signal strength
  • Unstable connectivity
