Fast Internet Access via Satellite in Small Cities and Rural America

Satellite Internet and its advantages


The need for high-speed browsing is hardly restricted to urban surroundings and big cities. But the vast expanses between urban locations in America are impossible for DSL and cable modem providers to bridge. Residences and businesses in these areas cannot rely on dial-up for their Internet needs.

Though more expensive than DSL and cable modem (that offer high speed Internet themselves), satellite Internet is the only option available in rural areas. What satellite communication gives you is bandwidth, no matter what the geographical situation of your location is. If you reside in continental US where the southern sky is clearly visible you’ll have no problem with your satellite connection, whatever be the state of infrastructure of your region.

The WildBlue Satellite advantage
 
WildBlue Satellite Speed Internet offers high speed Internet without too much equipment. The experience you get to enjoy is similar to that enjoyed in the cities and urban areas using DSL and cable modem. Surfing, downloads, streaming media, etc. can all be experienced with WildBlue satellite Internet. 

  The advantage WildBlue satellite Internet possesses is state-of-the-art technology employed in the UL-approved satellite dish, wiring and modem.

  The WildBlue satellite dish is not as large as the regular satellite dish. It has a compact dimension of 28” x 26” and can be installed on the roof, or mounted on the wall or on a pole. You won’t have to worry about the dish spoiling the aesthetic appearance of your home.

  Whatever is the WildBlue package you subscribe to, the state-of-the-art equipment remains the same.

  WildBlue satellite Internet employs the Ka-band instead of the Ku-band. This is responsible for the significantly higher speeds, as Ka-band allows more allocation and bandwidth, twice as much as the Ku-band.

WildBlue is available in three packages, the basic Value Pak at $49.95 (offering download speed of 512 Kbps and upload speed 128 Kbps), Select Pak at $69.95 (download and upload speeds of 1.0 Mbps and 200 Kbps)and Pro Pak at $79.95 (download speed of 1.5 Mbps and upload speed of 256Kbps). WildBlue satellite broadband services therefore cater to every kind of customer. If you don’t require extremely high speeds you could settle for the Value Pak, while heavy Internet users would prefer the Select Pak and Pro Pak.
