several considerations on satellite connections: environment, weather, cost.

if you are to use satellite connection within the bounds of a city with large buildings which can obstruct transmission and/or ricochet signals, better stick with dsl/cable/dial-up. likewise if you use it on cloudy/overcast weather. the most you need to consider is the cost. it can be quite prohibitive (read: too expensive), and it would just be a waste of money especially if you can not fully maximize it. but then again, of course, if you *really* require it and have the dough to get it, it is at least worth a try.

Nah... I dont think that the delayed signals is a problem. I mean, c'mon, Your satillite television doesnt have any problems or delays. I have DirectTV and there are no delays or anything. The picutre comes right up and thats transerfer like twice the amount of data per second because its video. See what I mean.

What you are talking about is not what he is talking about. You are taligbout a stationary dish that gets a constant signal. He is talking about internet service rather than tv.

I am under the impression that satallite internet most of the time is okay but there are the weater and other factors to worry about.

I am guessing you have a laptop. Does your laptop have wired network capabilities and wireless networking capablities? I thinkits a good idea to have those handy in your computer for areas that just don't have a signal. I think that is the case sometimes. I know that when I am near a hospital and some malls I don't get very good radio reception.

I realize the waves used for radio and the waves used for satallites are differant but Just like radio some things will jam or bounce the waves funny in certain areas. Having alternate ways of connecting for such times will be your best bet. I hope that helps.

Satellite Internet
Satellite Internet Connections

Everyone here has mentioned that satellite internet has cons and they are right. However, right now I'm using a celluar phone to post this and if I'm right I'm using satellites to do this. Web pages load fairly fast. As far as downloading goes haven't tried it yet but, the only problems I ever have is dead spots. Not because of building or clouds but holes in the network. So if my assumptions are right satellite internet is being used everyday and no one ever questions its use for making it into the sole provider for internet. Wireless is great but not great mobility, very limited. Cable very limited, satellite by far has the market yet no one utilizes it why?

Well I have made a small research on the internet about mobile internet and to be more precise about the these things you shouldcheck all the things avaialable since the companies I have found on the internet are only working wwith the hardware and the problem with the hardware when you finally have it is that you are not able to use internet since you do not hvae agreement with any other group. So you have to check all parts of agreement and not just buy hardware since it will not help you that much.

Hi, I was wondering about having an internet service based from a satellite connection. This mostly comes from this article:

http://www.techweb.com/wire/networking/159401477

The service promises 432 KB per sec but I am wondering how might work as I've heard the connection speed for satellites connections (phones) had a large delay due to the range of transmission.

Would anyone recommend this?

i have satellite internet- i had a choice between 4 deferent packages. i chose the cheapest which was 0 dollars down and 60 dollars a month, with an additional 20 dollars a month for the equipment.

internet speed - 700 KB (i think the highest package was $120 / 2MB)

you have a download threshhold(size depends on package). mine is 200MB a day , if you download more than that in a day your connection will get really slow for a along time. then i goes back to normal.


all in all, if you can get cable or dsl(upgraded), get that

if you can't...well, satellite is alot better than dial-up;)

   website of Arianespace (company, resonsible for the launch) they say, that the reason for almost 2
   hour delay is their checking of the telemetry on the lanuch-pad. Shin Satellite comany will be in

10. Broadband In Gas

    Apparently, this company has some patents pending on devices that can be installed in gas pipelines
    that go to commercial and residential buildings to provide the "last mile" connection for broadband.
    It appears the technology is based on radio frequencies propogated down the gas pipe as a wave

    and lower won't be able to use the new IE are: 1. state in which is the extended support of
    Windows 2000 and 2. mostly of technical nature (IE 7 is goin to have a few security updates and

17. Voip(voice Over Internet Protocol)

    real money saver (16)

    VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the communication technology of the future for sure. Legacy
    technology carries voice signals over analog circuits and lines. Voice over IP converts the analog
    signal to digital and transports the signal to the receiver where it is converted back from digital
    to analog and the receiver hears the sender's voice. This provides a more efficient and
    economical means of communication. I have know VOIP for quite a some time since i started online.

    a service most people associate with car stereos. With its 128 megabytes of internal memory, it’ll
    hold up to five hours of music, or more if you’re recording less data-intensive talk radio such as
    sports or news. It means that even if the signal gets dropped—which it will, i....
