Are Wireless Internet or Satellite Internet Providers For You?
Even though it may be hard for some to believe, not everyone has the ability to access high speed internet as of yet. Those who live in remote areas or country settings are still in the dark, so to speak, when it comes to high speed internet and cannot opt for DSL or Cable internet. Therefore, they have to go with a different route. For some this may mean cruising through satellite internet providers and for others this may mean opting for wireless internet, which one is for you?
Well, first, you need to know what the difference between the two is. Satellite internet providers offer semi high speed internet via a satellite, much like those used for satellite cable. There are no cable systems or telephone lines to speak of, but instead a dish is used to communicate the data from your computer to a central point. When we say that satellite internet providers offer semi high speed internet, this is because it is nowhere near the speed of cable and in some cases, it is still slower than DSL, but faster than dial up.
Wireless internet requires nothing more than a wireless internet card enabled on your computer. However, in a country setting, depending on where the wireless point is, you may not have this option either. Wireless internet uses something like microwave signals to communication between a variety of points. This means that you can connect to the internet wirelessly, without cables, without, cords, and without hassles.
Which one is for you?
Well, for the most part it depends on where you live. If you in an extremely remote area, you may only have the option of choosing from satellite internet providers. You would really need to search on the internet and see what is available in your area. You may be lucky and have both wireless internet and satellite internet providers in your area and have the ability to choose.
It is important to remember that both rely on the weather in terms of signal strength. The strength of the internet signal can drop dramatically in inclement weather. Furthermore, satellite internet providers tend to charge much higher fees than any of their counterparts, which includes wireless internet providers as well. Make sure you look at all of your options, as well as your budget before you choose which one is for you.
