If you are interested in signing up for satellite broadband internet service then you may be aware that you will need a satellite dish in order to send and receive information. However, what you may not be aware of is that you need a special satellite that is unique to the satellite internet service provider you selected. The satellite you get for satellite internet is not the same type of satellite as your DirectTV satellite so you cant use your cable television satellite to pick up an internet signal.

When you purchase your satellite internet system it will come with a number of components. These components will be separated into two groups, outside components and inside components. A certified satellite technician will need to install both sets of satellite components for you. This is an FCC law. Two way satellite installation is simply not a do-it-yourself project.

The outside broadband internet satellite dish components include the satellite dish, a satellite mount, a feed horn and a feed line. The size of your dish and the mount are going to depend on the service package you select and where your home or office is located. People living in Alaska, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico will generally need a larger satellite dish, a larger mount and a stronger LNB.

The inside broadband internet satellite dish components will include a coaxial cable jack, coaxial cables, grounding hardware and a modem. If you want the technician to take special cosmetic steps to hide your cables or to route them in a special way, or if your installation is going to be more difficult than the average installation because of the size, shape or layout of your home, then you will be charged extra. Any special services that you will need have to be discussed prior to your technician starting any work.

Broadband VoIP allows you to add a phone line to your home or office with a local phone number in just about any major U.S. city.... and with some vendors also in several countries such as the UK and Israel.

Here are some ways Businesses and families with geographical distances between them can take advantage of BroadBand Phone/VoIP:

1. Parents can add an additional line with a local number so their college son or daughter can always call home without the expense of long distance rates.

2. A family in Florida can bring up a local number in Minnesota where the rest of the family resides. Family members in Minnesota now dial a local number and reach the relatives in Florida with no long distance charges because the call is local for those in Minnesota, and only the party in Florida needs to have broadband service to receive the calls.

3. This technology can also help military families stay connected. VoIP is not restricted by global boundaries. A U.S. soldier in another country with a broadband connection can set up service with unlimited in bound calls that are local to his family in the U.S. His family then can make unlimited calls to him at no cost and his family in the U.S. doesn't need to have broadband access. Plus any calls they make home are either "local" or are made with an unlimited flat rate plan. That saves a ton of money.

4. Traveling executives can also take advantage of VoIP as a portable phone that can be taken along on any business trip. Many hotels will provide broad band access today. Simply plug the IP phone into the broadband connection in the hotel room. Your family and customers can now call on a local number. In addition you can still take advantage of out bound service and make calls from the room as well.

5. Businesses can drastically reduce costs from traditional calling services.... with flat rate plans which cover all of the US & Canada and often including Europe &/or Asia also.
