Satellite Internet access


Satellite Internet services are used in locations where terrestrial Internet access is not available and in locations which move frequently. Internet access via satellite is available worldwide, including vessels at sea.

There are three types of satellite Internet service:
* one-way multicast,
* one-way with terrestrial return, and
* two-way satellite access.

Satellite internet is not better than cable or DSL but is a great solution if you have been stuck with dial up because of where you live. It has higher speeds than dial-up access: up to 1.5 Mbps which is more than 30 times faster than dial-up. A whole new world of content will open up to you with your broadband connection.
