Satellite High Speed Internet Providers Connecting US Rural Areas to the World - Guest Post

Every nation has two sides to it and US is not an exception. America projects the picture of a prosperous and technologically advanced nation but this is a picture that emerges from the city. Move your attention to the rural areas and the other side of the coin flips over. Yes, one will be shocked to see the difference. The stark contrast is not only seen in the surroundings but also in the advancement – both economical and technological. However, the picture has undergone a little change thanks to the introduction of internet in the rural scenario. This was not achieved in a day. Rural US had to fight a lot to make the world believe that for them, internet is not a luxury; it is a necessity to achieve a better life.
Those shifting from the city to rural areas for economical reasons or any other personal reasons can understand the plight more. It is a bad scenario out in the rural areas of US where getting an electricity connection or gas service sounds easier than sighting an internet service provider.
Even if anyone sights an internet service provider, many of them choose to stick to places from where there is a guarantee of getting profits. The far fetched areas or the centralized zones are marked way off from their maps. People living in these areas even if have a dire need for internet for their work purpose, are left with no choice. Even some DSL internet providers refuses to offer the service providing irrational reasons like distance is a large factor to consider someone as a customer.
That is the reason therefore that where cable internet companies stop their services, the satellite high speed internet providers walk in the scene. Satellite internet providers are the messiah for residents of rural America. Their services are for those who are   not able to get a cable internet connection or a DSL internet provider. It is a bit high on the pocket true, but the services and the availability feature makes it a better option nonetheless. Satellite internet connection requires installing a satellite dish on the consumers’ property to get the signal.
Consumers will find a good number of high speed internet providers offering them services at the doorstep. Some of the major satellite internet service providers in the US are Wild Blue Satellite, popular satellite TV service named Direct TV and Hughes Net Satellite Internet. Dish Network is also counted under some of the major high speed satellite internet providers in the US.
Rural consumers will find Direct TV collaborating with the local internet providers to offer them an innovative bundled service. Earlier, Dish Network was working with Wild Blue, another well known name as a high speed internet provider in the rural areas. They also offered rural customers a combination service enabling them to enjoy TV and internet service at the same time in an integrated money saving package.
Recent developments project that Dish Network’s parent company has teamed up with one of the biggest rural satellite high speed internet providers Hughes Net. After joining hands, they are all set to rule the roost of the rural internet scene in the US. Consumers will benefit in two ways. On one hand Hughes Net Satellite will ensure a steady flow of internet service whereas Dish Network will take care of the TV service.

Going wireless is another option that rural consumers have.  The easiest way is to get an ‘air-card’ which is a USB device that can be used directly in the computer or laptop.  However, things are not too bright for air card users as the service is highly dependant on signal strengths. Liabilities are also there in the form of monthly limitations and overages.
Where local internet providers have taken a backseat, high speed internet providers like HughesNet, Starband and WildBlue have taken the initiative to change the face of rural US.
