Where the Cable Grid Ends, Satellite TV Continues

It is fairly common to notice that among the many millions of internet users throughout the country, certain prejudices and misconceptions exist as to which kinds of internet connections are really the best, the most suited to individuals' needs, and the most versatile. Conventional wisdom tells us that there is really nothing like a cable or fiber optic network connection: the signal is almost always on, and the propagating medium is just about the best there is at the moment. But how far can that notion hold true? To what extent can the cable and fiber optic networks really claim to be the best? As we will see, there is hardly anything that these types of connections can offer that a good, quality satellite internet connection cannot offer; and, to make things more complicated yet, there is plenty that a good satellite connection to the web can offer an internet user that neither of these two connection types can offer! So, let's take a closer look and analyze just what the differences here are, and who really ends up coming out on top. First of all, it is important to understand that a lot of the renown that cable internet services have is merely a residual effect from the prevalence of cable networks over various forms of communications, such as television, for example. Yet that does not necessarily, in and of itself, imply superiority in service. Customers are generally attracted by the ability to get their phone, TV and internet services all from one company, but that merely reflects a tendency towards complacency and comfort, not the search for quality. In the end, cable internet really does not have many qualities that a good satellite internet connection can offer: the connection speeds are more or less comparable between the average cable and the average satellite user; furthermore, even the most popular and well known cable provider will have occasional interruptions in their service (as in fact their signal, at one point or another, travels through a satellite connection!), and these interruptions are more or less identical in periodicity and length as those with a satellite connection. Hence, if in the former areas satellite and cable more or less stack up equally, what could possibly make one more attractive as a means for connecting to the internet than the other? How about geographical ubiquity? That is to say: the ability to access the internet from pretty much any position, any place, anywhere you want. google_ad_client = "pub-2311940475806896"; /* 300x250, created 1/6/11 */ google_ad_slot = "0098904308"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; That is the patented trademark of satellite internet, and cable companies will simply never be able to offer anything similar, which makes a satellite connection much more attractive for millions and millions of users throughout the country. Effectively, where the cable grids end, the satellite internet universe just keeps going (it wouldn't be correct to say "starts," as people living in the cities where cable grids have been laid can also get a satellite connection to the internet). In short, satellite internet will take you wherever you want to go, and will not fail.
