DSL and Cable aren't the only forms of Internet out there. Besides extremely expensive solutions like T1 Internet connections, there are some more affordable services such as Satellite Broadband, ISDN, and of course Dial-Up Internet. For people looking for broadband but do not have a DSL or Cable ISP in the area, we recommend checking out our Satellite Broadband link below.

Satellite Broadband covers the largest area of service. All you need is a view of the southern sky and you can get Satellite Internet. Satellite Internet does not use your phone line and can reach speeds up to 1.5 Mbps. Enter our Satellite Broadband Section

Dial-Up Internet is not an ideal solution to accessing the internet, but sometimes its the best you can get. Dial-Up Internet reaches speeds normally around 56k, which is nowhere near broadband connection speeds. Enter our Dial-Up Internet Section

Fiber Internet is the fastest and most reliable connection right now. Fiber Optics uses light pulses to transfer the data. To get Fiber Internet for your business, it will cost quite a bit of money right now, but prices are coming down rapidly. Enter our Fiber Internet Section
