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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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). See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Not necessarily. Different providers will commit different speeds and service packages, some of which are actually slower than the packages provided by SkyWay USA. Our satellite Internet is used mostly in places where DSL isn't available, thereby giving people who live in rural areas a true broadband solution. See similar questions...

DSL operates over your existing telephone line, however it is distance limited. DSL is only available to customers located approximately three miles from the telephone local switch. With satellite broadband, as long as you can point the satellite dish towards the satellite you can receive the signal. See similar questions...

Wireless communications can reach speeds as fast or faster than wired services. Our common connections support up to 1.5 Mbps (or 1,500 kbps, up and down). We can establish point-to-point communications to support up to 720 Mbps (720,000 kbps). See similar questions...

Wireless Mobile Network installs a wireless network throughout your business. This network transmits a signal to the user's wireless (Wi-Fi) network adapter that automatically detects the Wireless Mobile Network high-speed wireless Internet service. The user receives a login page where they can enter their user name and password or sign-up for a new service plan. See similar questions...

We highly recommend that if you are currently using a dial-up connection, to upgrade to a high-speed connection such as DSL or Cable. Because the training is LIVE and delivered directly via an Internet connection to your computer as it happens, to avoid any lags that may occur (as it happens more frequently in dial-up) - DSL, Cable or higher-speed connections is recommended to give you a smoother, less-interrupted training experience.
