Just wondering if anyone can tell me a good satellite provider. Only can get dial up now. Live in Alberta?

Question

Just wondering if any provider is better than another or if there is any questions I should be asking before I sign on the dotted line. I have never used Satellite Internet so any advise you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Satellite Internet service is only slightly faster than dial-up, due to high latency, or lag. It takes time to send and receive data from a device that is 200 miles above you.

That said, the best place to find a service provider is in the Yellow Pages.

"if any provider is better than another" is harder to answer. I would ask around and find friends and neighbours, who use the service, and follow their advice.
