Satellite broadband

Broadband service provided by a satellite. In order to use this, you need a dish connected to a modem. The equipment is expensive compared to regular home broadband but has a big plus: it doesn't need any fixed lines and will work anywhere within the footprint of the satellite, making it ideal for fast connectivity in remote locations where other services aren't available.
