Satellite Internet Service
Satellite Internet Service
For residents of areas where high speed internet is not available via cable or DSL connection, it is now possible to connect to the Internet by satellite. While not quite as fast as a broadband connection, a satellite internet connection offers substantially faster speed that a conventional dial-up connection.
DIRECTV is currently the only satellite TV provider to offer satellite internet access — neither Dish Network nor VOOM can provide customers with this service. Sold under the brand name DIRECWAY, DIRECTV’s internet service is available without a satellite TV subscription, but it does require a dedicated satellite dish, so customers who want a DIRECTV subscription as well will need to purchase a separate dish for their DIRECWAY internet connection. Once installed, DIRECWAY can provide download speeds of up to 500kbps, which is five to ten times faster than most dial-up connections!
