How does satellite internet work?

1.37K views

Like how does it connect you to the internet compared to broadband/dsl ISP providers because I think I know that you’d run through their “hubs” to get there just curious on how using a satellite ISP works and why it wouldn’t be faster?

> These consumer satellite dishes can get a bit funny, the signal is really powerful and nasty, and even stuff like birds flying through it are having a bad day (not kidding!)

This is not true. Your average home unit has a OutDoor Unit with a 2 or 4 watt amplifier on a 1 meter dish. At my previous employment, we had several 8 meter dishes with 1000w amps and we weren’t cooking birds.
