If you live in a rural area where DSL high-speed Internet is not available, your only real alternative to high-speed Internet is satellite. The question then becomes which satellite provider will give you the fastest speeds as well as the most reliable service at the cheapest price.
Dish Network introduced its high-speed Internet service, known as dishNET, in 2012 and has since become a huge success.
Here is a review of their services…
What is DISHNET?
dishNET is the name of the satellite Internet service provided by Dish Network.
Explain how dishNet works?
When you buy dishNET service, you get a satellite dish and satellite modem. Every time you log on to the Internet, your computer will send a signal to your modem which will send the signal to your satellite dish. That signal is sent to a satellite that bounces the signal back to a receiving station.
When a website is found, the signal is sent from the receiving station to the satellite and then to your computer.
How fast is dishNET?
Depending, dishNET download speeds are up to 10 Mbps, that’s about 100 times faster than dial-up service!
Is it possible to get satellite service in my area?
Regardless of where you live in the US, you can get high-speed dishNET service. All you need is a clear, unobstructed view of the southern sky.
How much exactly does dishNET cost?
dishNET rates start at $39.99 per month when bundled with Dish Network TV service, or $49.99 without their service.
Are there other costs?
