Living in small town USA can be limiting, between the select number of store, restaurants and movie theaters there is not much selection. Living in the countryside offers much more that material goods but sometimes you need to access these services. Your satellite Internet does not need to be limited anymore, here are some ways your options of dial-up and satellite are different.
Dial-up requires a phone line, so if you want to connect to the Internet you have to invest in a phone line or tie up your current phone line. This means missed calls and busy signals for whoever is trying to get a hold of you. Also installing another phone line cost money and time. Terrestrial wires do not limit satellite; there is no need for a phone line or a cable wire to connect to the company.
In most rural areas it is not feasible for cable or DSL companies to lay down the wires in order to provide a small town or a single home the Internet access they need. Satellite Internet can reach anyone; all that is required is a place for a dish to be located outside of your home, its just that simple. Satellite can be access from almost anywhere. Dial-up is the oldest of the connections to the Internet and often takes the longest to connect.
Satellite Internet Broadband works because it uses a two-way satellite system that uses Internet Protocol (IP) multicasting technology. The IP multicasting allows for over 5,000 channels to transmit data to and from a single satellite and all of these channels can be accessed simultaneously. IP multicasting sends information out from one single point to multiple points to receive the information. This is how one satellite can send and receive so much information for many different customer dishes. All of the data transmitted is compressed, this compression allows for more data to be sent and received. The compression of data and bandwidth allows for a high flow of information than cable has bandwidth limitations. Satellite Internet allows for more information to be transmitted in a single transaction than other types of Internet providers.
Satellite has instant connectivity. When ever you need to be connected to the Internet it is there immediately. This is because unlike with dial-up there is no need to wait for a dial-up connection because the satellite is able to upload and download for you when you need. Dial-up requires a wait every time you want hop on the Internet whereas satellite gives you an instant connection.
The connection through dial-up is slow, not only does it take time to connect but also when downloading and uploading websites you will have to wait as well. Satellite Broadband is 30 times faster than dial-up. This means no more waiting for websites to download and you can surf the Internet efficiently on your time schedule not the connections. Location is now not a limiting factor for great Internet service. Satellite Internet can reach up to 99% of zip codes in the United States, therefore no matter how remote you are more than likely you can receive better service with satellite than with dial-up. Now you have another option for Internet that is much faster and reliable than dial-up, the choice is clear.
