Springville Wireless offers speeds up to 30 times faster than those available with standard dialup. Headaches common to dialup internet such as unbearably slow downloads or disconnected calls are a thing of the past. While also providing a signal through the air, satellite Internet service offers speeds far slower those available with Springville Wireless. See the question below for more details. DSL or cable services feature uploads significantly slower than their download speeds.

Internet "speed" is measured in units of kilobits per second (kbps). By comparison, if you currently have a 56K dialup modem and typically get around 28 kbps download speeds, compare that speed to up to 3,000 kbps or 5,000 kbps (depending on plan) with our Internet service! If you have a hard time envisioning kbps, substitute "mph" and you'll get the idea! The speed of your connection depends on which plan you select and the distance you are from our transmitter(s).

Our Internet service is faster. We offer 15 Mbps when DSL and cable only offer between 1.5 and 6 Mbps. This means less time waiting for downloads and more time doing what you actually want to do.

Unlike DSL or Cable Modem, our service does not depend on telephone or cable TV infrastructure. This enables Phoenix Internet to reach many neighborhoods where DSL and Cable Modem are unable or unwilling to go. Our service plans offer performance comparable to DSL and Cable Modem, but with some important differences. Superior customer service because we are a local company and can be at your location within hours if necessary.

Currently, EarthLink does not offer Satellite TV service with EarthLink High Speed Satellite Internet Service.

Nope. Heat, cold, rain, snow, etc. does not affect your wireless Internet connection. Environmental factors that can affect wireless Internet include strong solar flare-ups (the same that affect FM radio and cell phone signals).

ECG Internet Phone routes your incoming and outgoing voice calls alongside the data being sent to or from your computer. This means you can make and receive calls while you use your computer to access the Internet. When DSL is set up, it is important to calculate enough bandwidth for both of your data and voice usage. Bandwidth intensive applications can cause temporary decrease in quality of VoIP connections.

Depending on service level selected, ParkWiFi speeds will be somewhere between DSL and Cable Modem speeds. However, ParkWiFi provides the fastest residential upload speeds (sending photos and other larger files) available, and ParkWiFi offers mobility so you may connect throughout St. Louis Park on a Wi-Fi enabled laptop. In addition, later this year you will be able to use your laptop and ParkWiFi account in other parts of the Twin Cities and around the USA for a small additional fee.

Internet access delivered via a satellite system is a recent addition to the list of high-speed access choices. DSL is a better choice for three reasons. First, DSL is easier to install. Satellite service is often difficult to set up, sometimes requiring multiple visits by the installation technician. Service that works fine in the winter may not work at all in the summer when the trees add foliage. Also, as landscapes change new structures can block the signals.

Cable Internet access uses cable television wires instead of telephone lines to connect to the Internet. It is extremely fast and does not tie up telephone lines for incoming or outgoing calls and faxes. SURFboard cable modems are capable of downloading up to 100 times faster than traditional analog phone modems, when comparing download speeds with a traditional 28.8k analog modem. Actual speeds will vary, and are often less than the maximum possible.

Cable is frequently oversubscribed, meaning that the cable company doesn't use enough high-speed connections to the Internet backbone for the number of users on their system which causes Internet access to slow down. DSL is limited by distance. DSL speeds decrease the farther away from the telephone company's central office (CO) you are, and doesn't work at all if you are more than 18,000 feet away (About 3 to 4 miles). There are a couple of reasons.

Wireless technology can provide greater bandwidths (much faster), better availability in rural areas and can provide large savings for customers who require high speeds in the T1 and greater bandwidths. DSL has distance and speed limitations based on the location of the telephone companies CO (Central Office) and is not currently available in many of the rural areas. Cable systems are also not as widely available and may become congested with users sharing the same cable all vying for bandwidth.

with any internet connection your provider is sharing access (bandwidth) with all of it's customers, so your most limiting factor is the amount of bandwidth the ISP has, Cable and DSL charge enticingly low rates for what they call "high speed access", which might seem like a good thing, but charging so little means there is not enough money coming in to provide the bandwidth needed for your customers, so typically you will find your connection slows drastically when other people are using it hea.

Wireless broadband is sometimes confused with Satellite because they are both forms of wireless communication. The difference is that Phoenix Internet uses a terrestrial microwave system that uses short-range wireless links that are no more than 14 miles long. The latency on these short-range links is comparable to wired links like DSL and Cable Modem so the performance remains high.

No, unlike satellite Internet, our towers are much closer to you with a line of sight. Plus, the signal does not have to pass through the atmosphere where it could cause a loss of signal.

Your installer will contact you within five business days from the time you placed your order for EarthLink High Speed Satellite Internet, powered by HughesNet™. The installer is assigned by EarthLink to perform your installation. If you have any problems scheduling or coordinating an installation, please contact our customer service team at 1-800-635-0373.

No. FCC regulations for installing the dish and pointing the antenna are very stringent and, therefore, must be professionally installed by an FCC-certified installation technician. The Federal Communications Commission Radio Station Authorization, file number SES-MOD-20010205-00298, defines federal regulations for the installation and activation of two-way satellite Internet access devices.

EarthLink High Speed Satellite Internet is intended for residential consumer use, including: Web surfing, email, instant messaging, file downloads and streaming audio/video on a single computer. EarthLink High Speed Satellite Internet is not supported for commercial/business applications, including: Networking, Web hosting, remote telnet access, VPN, voiceover IP.

Generally DSL is a smoother ride than cable Internet. LavaNet DSL is favored by businesses and people running networks or servers because it usually saves money and delivers more features than a similarly endowed cable Internet connection. Please call LavaNet for a price comparison! Neither DSL nor cable Internet make any claim of sustainable data rates.

High-Speed Cable Internet Service is one of the fastest home Internet services you can get. It delivers the full power of the Internet - incredible multimedia, streaming music, and unlimited possibilities for fun, learning, and communication - to your computer using a cable wire instead of a phone line.

CIS Wireless Broadband installs a small radio called a subscriber unit on your residence or office building. Then we run a single wire from subscriber unit into your house or business to your router. The subscriber unit and wire are professionally installed and grounded in accordance with NEC. Some installation will require a taller line of sight to our base stations, so in these circumstances, a small tripod with a pole will be used.

Sometimes this issue can occur if you have lost connection to your internet service provider (ISP) due to a power interruption, but there are other causes as well. To reset the connection turn off your computer and unplug your cable or DSL modem and your router if you have one. Wait a few seconds then plug your router back if you have one and after it has finished the boot up process (generally 20-30 seconds) then turn your computer on.

Just like cable and DSL, our service is a fast, always-on reliable internet connection, but with NexGenAccess, there is no required "premium" service subscription. There are no taxes for home users. Unlike cable, your connection is a dedicated connection, no bandwidth sharing. Unlike DSL, there are no pesky phone line filters to mess with.

K56 and x2 modems upload at 28.8k and download at an average of 53k, so their speeds fall dramatically short of our High-Speed Cable Internet service, which can upload at rates up to 64kbps and download at speeds up to 256kbps.

No. For our cable Internet service, your home must only be serviceable by your local cable provider. Our DSL, Satellite, and EarthLink Wi-Fi services do not rely on cable service at all.

Yes. Our Cable Internet service does not interfere with your cable TV at all. Your family can even watch multiple TVs and use your high speed Internet connection at the same time.

Not necessarily. Our satellite broadband is used mostly in places where DSL isn't available, thereby giving people who live in rural areas a true broadband solution.

Not necessarily. Different providers will commit different speeds and service packages, some of which are actually slower than the packages provided by SkyWay USA.
