Satellite internet does not use a cable modem. The service doesn't use cable or phone wiring in the house. There is a satellite on the property and wiring that brings the service into the house. The provider would supply the necessary peripherals to connect to the Internet.

Satellite Internet: The New Way to Get Connected?

Satellite Internet service is the one high-speed Internet service that is available anywhere. As long as one has electricity and (in North America) a clear view of the southern sky, satellite broadband should be available. These broadband providers are generally specialized Satellite Broadband Providers. Unlike the first satellite internet services offered a few years back, neither a phone line nor a dial-up data modem is required for uploads. Satellite Internet service operates independently of telephone or cable networks. In order to have a satellite Internet connection in your home, you will need to have a satellite dish (antenna) attached to the roof of your home and a satellite modem connected to your home computer. After you select the right high-speed Internet plan, a certified installer will connect your computer to a satellite modem and link the modem to a satellite dish (antenna). The installer provides the satellite modem and the satellite dish. Once installed, the satellite dish sends and receives information (i.e., email, Web pages, files) over the Internet and delivers it to your computer through your satellite modem, giving you secure and fast high-speed Internet access. Performance speeds for residential download Satellite Broadband Internet are typically 500-1000 Kbps (Kilobytes per second) or about 10-20 times faster than a 56K modem. Upload speeds are generally 100 - 256 Kbps. Satellite Internet is not ideal for consumers who require highly responsive high-speed Internet service, such as that required for online games or stock trading. VPNs do not work well over satellite also. You may use a VPN, but you will likely experience reduced speeds by as much as 50–75 percent. You can restore your connection to full speed by simply disabling your VPN client when your session is over. Voice over IP and video streaming doesn't work well with satellite internet either, due to the latency issues. Installation for satellite Internet requires about $600.00 in specialized equipment and the proper installation of a small satellite dish with a clear view of the southern sky. Equipment can often be financed by the satellite Internet provider. Monthly, the costs usually run anywhere from $60.00 to $90.00, depending on service options and speed plus the cost of the equipment and in some case an activation fee of about $100. Some satellite Internet providers are now offering "cheap" satellite internet in the $40.00- $50.00 range. It is slower than regular Satellite broadband and conditions may apply. Be sure to ask about all available options. Some other tips when considering satellite internet: it is fully mobile, meaning you don't have to stay close to home to have access. It can be a perfect solution for an RV or the summer cabin. Be sure to evaluate all options before choosing a high-speed Internet service broadband provider.
