First, it is important to understand that Satellite Internet, or Satellite Broadband, as the name implies, uses a satellite dish and transmitter to send and receive data. This is a completely different technology than is used in DSL (digital subscriber line). DSL is a type of technology/service provided by phone companies. It is also important to know that there is a difference between wireless Internet access and satellite Internet access. Most wireless Internet access is based on Internet data that is transmitted via towers. While satellite access utilizes radio frequency to transmit and receive data to the satellite, it is not dependent upon towers. When choosing an Internet provider it is wise to do your homework. Ideally you should look for satellite internet providers that are well established.
