Hughesnet Satellite Internet Faster Is Better
Author : Francis David
Hughesnet has gained increasingly more customers and popularity in recent years through superior performance in terms upload, download, reliability and price. Hughesnet ’s technological advantage over its competitors is due to the use of Ka band satellite technology rather than the more established Ku band used everyone else. This technology allows Hughesnet to cover service areas with spot beams rather than a single large beam. This allows them to maintain high quality of service and reduce costs, which they in turn pass on to their customers, hence the popularity.
Still using a dial-up Internet provider? Maybe you have no choice. Maybe the local phone company doesn’t consider you profitable enough to place you into their DSL coverage area. Maybe the local cable company sees your area as being too expensive to run cable lines to. There is another choice – Satellite Internet. Some of you in areas like I just mentioned may already have satellite television – if you do, then I really don’t have to sell you on how well it works – and – satellite Internet should be something you need to seriously look into.
If you are living in rural America, you’ve probably seen the ads, received the mailings and considered looking into it – especially if you have been struggling to accomplish things online with a dialup Internet provider. Hopefully the information to follow can save you some trouble and help you decide if satellite Internet and WildBlue is right for you.
There are some things to consider if you are new to the satellite Internet game. Things such as satellite latency, which can cause great frustration to anyone trying to play live online interactive games, videoconference or use VOIP applications like Vonage or Magic Jack. For customers just trying to browse, email, upload and download, you won’t even notice the half-second delay.
The equipment consists of little more than a mini dish and WildBlue modem. The service does require the satellite dish to be either mounted to your physical property or a pole. The rest is simple, a modem connected to your computer through a USB port, no software to download and off you go into the WildBlue yonder. DSL and dialup users will appreciate this; the service is always on, fast and requires no phone line.
Before you get too carried away there is also a Fair Access Policy to be aware of. FAP as it is know, simply put, is a protection for all customers. Each user is allotted a certain amount of bandwidth on a rolling 30-day period, go over the threshold and you will be slowed to dialup like speeds until your account regains some bandwidth. It is important to note that WildBlue is rather generous with this level and only 4% of its end users are ever affected. There are Google gadgets to help you monitor your use if you are a user who downloads numerous large files or uses streaming media frequently. WildBlue also alerts you with an email when you reach 80% of your threshold.
The Internet should be fun – and - dialup is not fun. It really isn’t hard to understand why WildBlue has grown in popularity so quickly – if this sound like a fit for you check into it, ask questions and remember, there is an entire universe of information waiting for you and WildBlue can get you there!
