How fast is the DIRECWAY System?
The experience with DIRECWAY 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. Click here for a comparison to dial-up. As you can see this is a huge improvement…and broadband by satellite is the only high-speed Internet technology that’s available everywhere in the continental U.S.!
DIRECWAY Home and Professional service plans provide download speeds up to 500Kbps and up to 50Kbps in the upload direction. It is helpful to understand that all Internet technologies (satellite or land-based) share available network bandwidth in one way or another. And as a result it is common to experience speed variations between busy times and quiet times. Actual upload speeds during busy times will likely be lower than the speed indicated.” Jim………..
