When location is not a deterrent, it makes it easy to have that connection at the summerhouse or in the city for work and play. Satellite Internet can make a big difference for people that use their connection for work, since work can be done from virtually anyplace, spending the summer at the cabin can be a great idea instead of a week or two.
It is possible to have this type of connection, because satellite Internet does not work on the same principals as other broadband service. Instead having a small satellite dish that sends and receives data to a large satellite dish located in the southern sky is the way this Internet connection works and that means it has the ability to be connected anyplace that has a clear view of the southern sky.
The reality is if there is electrical power and a view of the southern sky then it is possible to have a broadband connection that has download speeds of 1.0 megabytes per second to work or play on the Internet. This kind of reality has never been available prior to satellite service in rural areas or areas where the power and telephone lines have not reached. Internet service would have been impossible for the computer user in these remote areas unless the telephone lines had reached them and they could use a dialup Internet service. That rustic cabin that provides lasting summer memories did not include the memory of surfing the web and if it had the surfing would have been done with dialup.
This is an always on connection as long as there is electrical power because the way this service works is by sending data packets an estimated 22,300 miles above the equator to a geo-stationary satellite. This satellite then processes the data and sends a data packet back to the satellite dish and to the modem. These data packets are sent and received in approximately .048 of a second.
This type of speed means that pictures load immediately, with no pixel by pixel view of them and no wait for web pages no matter how intricate the web design is what can be expected from broadband service. Even in a remote location satellite service will have this kind of connection speed, where other services could not be used no matter where it is located, even in the city
