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?
In: Technology
Satellite internet the consumer has a dish which sends and receives a signal from a satellite which relays it back to a ground station at an ISP.
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!)
The service and speed is awful though. It’s only meant for cases where no other internet options are available such as very rural areas. Not only is the speed slow, ping very high, but you’re only allowed quite limited data each month. Again it’s really only meant as a last resort option, it is however, quite reliable, it works.
