Top Satellite Internet Service Providers
The rapid advancement in technology and innovation has presented users with numerous conveniences and solutions
that are created specifically to address specific problems. One of the earlier problems encountered with
globalization and internet age is the unavailability of internet connectivity in remote locations. Phone
service has solved this problem by reaching out to a lot of rural areas but still not in areas with very low
population density. While metropolitan areas were growing rapidly in all industries, rural areas found it
difficult to catch up even more.
In the present time however, satellite broadband internet providers have
presented a great solution to the lack of internet connectivity in rural areas. What used to be considered
luxuries of getting connected to the internet has now become a necessity. Now, rural areas can somehow cope
with their urban counterparts in terms of industrialization and technology. Several services are now available
including establishing of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) to manage companies with branches in remote areas,
VoIP (Voice Over IP), and other features that are provided by a high-speed internet provider. The connection is
relatively fast and reliable. It is reasonable that somehow, satellite internet speed is a little bit slower
than regular internet connections. Data transmission is different because it does not pass through the usual
communications infrastructure utilized by regular providers. The outgoing data has to be transmitted several
kilometers and out into space, toward the corresponding provider's satellite. The data is then sent out to the
appropriate receivers and any returned data travels the same way back to the subscriber. This is an
understandable shortcoming; one that we definitely expect to be addressed as well in the near future.
The speed of satellite internet is nothing to scoff at. However, current versions of provider services have
improved quite a lot, even surpassing lower-end DSL internet connections. Reviews on the internet indicate two
satellite internet providers that are always on the list of the best (if not toe-to-toe) satellite internet
providers.
Exede and Hughesnet have been have been on the list of any review of satellite internet providers. And they
rightfully deserve their spots as they are known to have reliable up time, making sure that any hiccup times in
the system is insignificantly short. The download speeds of Exede and Hughesnet are 12Mbps and 10Mbps
respectively. Their upload speeds are both at 3Mbps. Some users have commended Exede for surpassing their
advertised speeds. Some users even report to have experienced amazing download and upload speeds of 17 Mbps and
4.5 Mbps. These two providers also add value features to subscribers. Each of them allow email accounts that
have generous disk space allowances that can reach up to 5GB. They also offer web kits for subscribers who are
delving into blogging. These provided tools make blogging a more user friendly experience. Added services
include reasonable increments for data limit extensions, not to mention that the base data limit is already
generous to begin with. Reviews for these two sites indicate that they are the best at what they do and are
very open for even more innovations that would improve the subscriber's experience with them.
