United States. All you need is a clear view of the southern sky.
With this satellite internet technology
you can have a very fast Internet connection that is always 'on'.
You'll be able to surf quickly and open pages faster and you can even
download large files in a fraction of the time that it takes with

Get
the Internet delivered to you over a satellite dish rather than through
a phone line so that you can browse the Internet and talk on the phone
at the same time. After you sign up, a certified HughesNet installer
will come to your house and connect your notebook or desktop computer
to a satellite modem.
They will then link the modem to
a satellite dish that will typically be mounted on the roof of your
home. The installer will survey your site in order to find the best
location for your new dish. The satellite dish that you get has the
ability to both send and receive.

Bottom Line
If you live in a rural area then you
may not have any other options. Don't worry, the HughesNet
TM Satellite Internet Service is a great solution!
In general, satellite Internet services
do cost a little bit more than cable or DSL solutions and they certainly
cost more than dial-up. The good news is that you will be able to
surf the Internet at blazing speeds. The actual average speeds of
satellite Internet are somewhere between the speeds of DSL and cable,
with cable being the fastest. But hey, you probably can't get cable
or DSL where you live or you wouldn't be looking into this solution,
right?
