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.

How do you reduce lag with satellite internet?
With satellite internet, the latency is way to out of whack. the time it takes to send data between the satellite and your isp/computer is too much so nothing you can do about it.
Satellite Internet Explained?
Satellite Internet access is provided via a geostationary satellite at broadband speeds or a Low Earth Orbit satellite at slower speeds. While many people worldwide have access to satellite Internet in addition to more common options such as DSL and cable, it is the only option available for people in areas where traditional land-based Internet is not available, such as when on a ship or in a remote area. There are two main types of satellite Internet access: two-way and one-way. Two-way access uses a satellite for both outgoing (upload) and incoming (download) transmissions while one-way access uses a satellite for incoming transmissions only. In the case of one-way access, outgoing transmissions are sent via a traditional telephone line. The average download speed of satellite Internet is 1 Mbps while upload speed varies between 56 Kbps with one-way access and 256 Kbps with two-way access. In the United States, there are four major providers of satellite Internet access: HughsNet, SkyWay, StarBand, and WildBlue. Satellite Internet access purchased through a satellite television provider is through one of these access providers. In a typical scenario, which illustrates two-way access, a satellite dish is installed at the consumer’s home or business that both receives incoming transmissions and sends outgoing transmissions. In both cases, the transmissions are processed by a satellite modem connected to a computer. The outgoing signal from the consumer’s satellite is sent to a satellite in space and from there to the Internet service provider. In response, the service provider retrieves the requested data from the Internet and sends it back to the satellite in space which then sends it back to the consumer. With one-way access, the outgoing transmission travels through a telephone line to the service provider. The incoming transmission process does not change. The main advantage of satellite Internet is that it is available anywhere on Earth. However, the disadvantages outweigh this. The main disadvantage is its low speed when compared to DSL or cable. Due to the large distance between the satellite and Earth, there is often a long delay between the moment the signal is broadcast and the moment it reaches its destination. Other disadvantages include interruptions due to inclement weather, the necessity of having a clear line of sight between the consumer’s satellite and the satellite in space, and the high cost.

If you have satellite internet can you get satellite tv?
If you can get a signal for your satellite Internet service, then without a doubt, you can also get a signal for satellite TV service AND the other way around also. The one thing you must know is that a no matter what anyone tells you, having both services will require two separate satellite dishes. The same provider that supplies you with Internet service can't provide TV, and vice versa. For satellite Internet, you'll need to use HughesNet, WildBlue, Starband, or Skyway USA, and for satellite TV, you'll need to use DIRECTV or Dish Network. That's why you'll need two separate dishes.

Is there a way to play PS3 if you have Hughesnet Satellite Internet?
If you already have HughesNet satellite internet you might see how it connects to your computer. PS3 can only be connected with either a Ethernet Cable or a wireless signal. You can not use the USB port in the front of the PS3 to connect to the internet. PS3 is supposed to work only with broadband or DSL. The related link for Hughesnet listed a phone number and they indicated that while it would work it would provide poor online game performance and was not recommended. They did say that it connected to the PC or other device with an ethernet cable.
