Outgoing data, with two-way satellite access, is usually transmitted more slowly than the incoming data arrives. This type of connection is considered to be asymmetrical. A dish antenna (approximately two feet high by three feet wide by three feet deep) transmits and receives signals. The speed of outgoing (50 to 150 Kbps) and incoming data (150 to over 1200 Kbps) are dependent upon Internet traffic, server capacity, and the size of downloaded files.
Satellite
Internet access makes an excellent choice for people in rural communities where
other types of Internet access may be not be available. However, firewall protection
in these areas is a good idea with satellite Internet access to prevent possible
hacking.
