Hughes – Low Cost High Speed Satellite Internet Access
If you have no access to high speed Internet service, in fact, if you live out in the country your ability to get even dial up Internet access may be limited. The best way to get high speed Internet service at home is through satellite internet access.
Satellite internet does not use telephone lines or cable systems but uses a satellite dish for two way data communications. The connection to the satellite is not quite as fast as cable internet or some DSL service but when you get high speed satellite internet access, the service is many times faster than dial up.
Here is how satellite internet works:
A two way satellite dish is installed. The satellite dish has a dish that is about two feet and has an uplink modem, a downlink modem. The two modems and the dish are connected with coaxial cables. The satellite installation requires the satellite have a clear view of the southern sky as the satellites that deliver the internet are almost all over the equator. The satellite dish uses IP multicasting technology which means that a single satellite can serve up to five thousand channels of communication. This system sends data from the single satellite dish to many different points (the satellites orbiting the earth) at the same time.

The installation is a little bit tougher than cable internet or DSL So, should you get high speed satellite internet service? Well, that really depends on your circumstance and your budget. If you live in an area where cable internet is not available, it is definitely a better option for internet than dial up. It might even be your only option for receiving Internet service in your home if you live in the country. Virtually anywhere in the continental United States that has a clear view to the south can bring you high speed satellite internet service and with the two way satellite receivers, you don't have to worry about the speed slowing down if a bunch of other people are using the internet at the same time you are.
