Want Faster Broadband Access? Consider Satellite Internet.

According to a recent FCC report, 19 million people are living in areas where fast and affordable Internet can be hard to find or extremely costly. However, options do exist for consumers seeking reliable Internet access.

Satellite technology has made enormous progress in both speed and capacity in recent years, allowing providers like ViaSat to offer much faster Internet speeds. Unlike other broadband options like cable or fiber optics that rely on wires installed in the ground, satellite Internet can provide reliable service and is available immediately, regardless of where users live. Exede by ViaSat offers speeds of up to 12 Mpbs in Carlsbad and the surrounding areas, which is four times faster than average DSL speeds and eight times faster than traditional satellite Internet services.

Satellite Internet’s competitive speeds and pricing have also helped demand for the services grow by leaps and bounds. Since launching earlier this year, Exede has been able to attract more than 100,000 customers, 40 percent of whom previously used DSL and wireless services for their Internet.

This includes people like Ray Rodriguez, an entrepreneur who moved to a small ranch in San Marcos, only to find that the DSL service he had previously used was not available at his new home. Rodriguez, who now uses Exede satellite Internet, has found that he and his wife can more easily stay in touch with friends, family and business colleagues. He says, “I Skype with people all over the world, including Western Europe, Israel, South America and China.  I search and research online.  We can stream movies online without delays.”

If you are waiting for an Internet service that lets you fully participate in the online world, make sure you’re considering all the options available in your area to deliver the speed and access you deserve.  Exede Internet may be the solution you’ve been looking for.  To find out more, or locate a dealer near you, go to www.exede.com.
