Satellite broadband is Internet connectivity provided by satellite, rather than dial-up, DSL (digital subscriber line) or cable service. Satellite broadband is linked to a dish network subscriber service and provides speeds similar to other broadband technologies. The Internet feed is beamed from satellite to a dish installed at the subscriber's home. Satellite broadband can deliver speeds of 2 megabits per second (mbps) downstream, and 1 mbps upstream.
