Satellite Internet Services

Satellite Internet services offer customers a more than significant upgrade from dial-up. High speed Internet is here to stay and everyone wants to experience this as the results speak for themselves. But not all forms of high speed Internet are easily accessible, not if you’re in a rural location. DSL and cable modem providers require much infrastructure to reach homes or small offices in regions not hitherto connected.

No such problems with satellite Internet services. Thanks to the lack of terrestrial infrastructure and the advanced satellite orbiting the earth, satellite Internet services from major players such as WildBlue are available all over continental United States in rural and urban locations. The only condition is that the place where the customer resides should offer a clear view of the southern sky. Obstacles such as mountains or trees could cause a disturbance or reduction in speed, but this is generally thought to affect only around 5-10% of customers.  

Satellite Internet services generally come in many packages depending on your requirements as well as budget, with WildBlue starting lowest at $49.95 for the Value Pak. The satellite Internet equipment is installed at your residence, home office or small office by professionals. The equipment consists only of the satellite dish and satellite modem.

A maximum speed of 1.5 Mbps is offered by the two major broadband Internet providers, WildBlue and HughesNet. WildBlue only charges an account startup fee of $149, without any charge for equipment. This, coupled with the lowest monthly charge at $49.95, makes it great value for money. The lowest charge for a HughesNet package is $59.99 per month. The upfront cost of the equipment is $399 with mail in rebate receivable after 8 weeks. With WildBlue the equipment is leased. Equipment failures within the lease term would be covered by WildBlue while HughesNet offers a 12 month warranty on equipment and no lease scheme.

The bottom-line is that with satellite Internet the customer gets plenty of choices on the packages and user-friendly plans. Time to upgrade from dial-up then, and check out satellite Internet services!
