Highlights from the World of Satellite Broadband

In the broadband internet industry, if you aren't constantly innovating and improving your products and services then you are going to go the way of the buffaloit's that simple. Companies that fail to bring their subscribers the possibility of an improved experience on a regular basis just don't last very long, and in fact the quickness with which some providers tank is quite astonishing. The general improvements offered by fiber optics and other cable services have received a great deal of attention in recent years, and of late the advances within the wireless realm (third and fourth generation mobile standards) have also been greatly discussed. What about the improvements within the satellite internet industry? While they may not have received as much attention as in the other cases mentioned, the advancements within this industry have been quite impressive and it can be argued with surprising effectiveness that they represent the most significant strides forward for broadband in the entire world.

Part of the reason for why satellite internet has been so overlooked is that, when the service came into public awareness a little over a decade ago, people weren't all that impressed by it: expensive as they were to get for your home or office, satellite connections were really not such a tremendous improvement over dial-up and therefore they didn't have such a great impact on the marketplacethen, at least. Yet all that is just another way of saying that there was a lot of room for improvement, and improving services and products is what the satellite internet industry has been up to all these years. All the major obstacles that had prevented satellite connections from really gaining massive popularity have been overcome and then some, as is clearly the case with the biggest cross that satellite internet providers had to bear: weather interference. Satellite users and people considering getting a satellite connection have dreaded the approach of any storm front or even the most lightly overcast skies because they fear that the atmospheric moisture will either make their connection patchy or cut it out altogether. Thankfully, that is no longer the casepeople no longer need to have such fearsas signal reliability has reached just about 99% even in the middle of a major storm, thanks to changes that satellite communications engineers implemented in the way the signal is relayed through the air.

Along with improvements in signal reliability have come improvements in broadband capacity, and that is what people always think of first when judging the worth of an internet service. Satellite internet providers have delivered in a big way regarding download speeds, and now connections are many times faster what they were ten or even five years ago; in fact, the 4+ Mbps that many satellite users get in download speeds rivals what many cable customers get, even though cable is supposedly so much better than satellite! It really makes you wonder what it is we've been told about the broadband industry as a whole in these last few years.
