pMany people believe that satellite Internet requires a land line. But thatrsquo;s just not true. Long ago some satellite Internet providers did require you to use your phone line to get on the web, but now broadband satellite Internet is always on-a lot like cable Internet and DSL Internet./p

pThroughout rural areas in the United States, most residents and businesses can access the web by satellite. The availability of high speed rural Internet access comes at great relief since many rural residents are frustrated by slow dial up and the lack of high speed Internet service (cable and DSL Internet providers canrsquo;t justify the cost to bring high speed Internet service to every corner of the country)./p

pAs you know, dial-up Internet requires you to connect to the web via a phone line. This means that you canrsquo;t use your phone and surf the web at the same time./p
pnbsp;/p
pAnother benefit to satellite Internet (aside from not needing a phone line) is that you can get online at any time because itrsquo;s always on. Plus, satellite Internet is up to 30 times faster than dial-up./p

h3What happens to make satellite Internet work/h3
pSatellite Internet requires three satellites to work: the mini-dish mounted on or near your home, the satellite that orbits 22,000 miles above the equator, and the satellite that resides at the satellite Internet providerrsquo;s location. These three satellites work together to send and receive the data (in the form of microwaves) that let you interact on the Internet./p

pIn addition to the mini-dish at your home, yoursquo;ll also need the proper cables and modem to transfer data from the dish to your computer.
