CityStar® More Satellite Questions and Answers

Q: How fast is the satellite broadband system?
A: The experience with satellite broadband high-speed Internet is astonishing. When comparing typical activities with a dial-up service, the difference in the amount of time you'll be waiting for what you want is night and day.

You can download software upgrades in just minutes, versus up to an hour. There's no more waiting for web pages to fully finish loading. They are typically done within a couple of seconds. Getting your favorite song can be done in less than the song's length rather than three times as long.

As you can see this is a huge improvement... and broadband by satellite is the only high-speed Internet technology that's theoretically available anywhere in the contiguous continental U.S. (the lower 48 States).

Q: How fast is satellite broadband compared to Cable or DSL? Aren't they faster?
A: Everyone's Internet technology is based on shared bandwidth, so sometimes one option will allow you to do things in less time than others. But because everyone uses shared bandwidth there's truly no definitive answer.

Q: Is there a business version of satellite broadband? If so how do I get it?
A: Yes, there is a Business Edition of satellite broadband that allows for multiple seats in an existing LAN-based environment. For more information on The Business Edition of satellite broadband, please complete CityStar's online inquiry form.
