If you live out in the country you may not have access to high-speed cable or DSL Internet service. But there is a service that's available to everyone in the U.S. - satellite Internet service.

Hundreds of thousands of people are now enjoying the benefits of satellite Internet service, and you can too.

How Does It Work?

Unlike other forms of high-speed internet service which use a cable or telephone line to transmit a signal, satellite Internet uses a satellite. An Internet provider sends a signal to a satellite hovering above the earth. The satellite then relays that signal to a satellite dish which in turn sends it to a router and then to your computer.

What Are the Benefits of Satellite Internet Service?

* The major benefit is speed. Satellite Internet provides connection speeds up to 50 times faster than than 56k dialup service. Instead of waiting for website pages to load, you can go from one website to the next as fast turning pages in a book.

* Another benefit is that because it uses a satellite to transmit signals instead of your phone line, you can take calls and talk on the phone while you're on the Internet. No more missed phone calls.

* With satellite Internet service you're always connected so you won't have to waste time logging on.

* The major providers provide Internet security features such as anti-virus and anti-spyware programs so you don't have to worry about your computer becoming infected with a virus or being taken over by a hacker.

* The largest provider, HughesNet, has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you decide their service is not for you, you can get your money back.

The Bottom Line

If you use the Internet to communicate with family, friends, and business associates and you share photos, videos, and audio files, you need a high speed Internet connection. With satellite Internet you can enjoy fast speeds and reliable service at an affordable cost.
