Any location in the continental U.S. with a clear view of the southern sky can receive Agristar Global Networks. Cable and DSL, in contrast, are primarily limited to more populated areas such as suburban and urban cities. In terms of basic Internet connection speeds, satellite downloads are typically faster than DSL and slightly slower than Cable. With upload speeds, satellite is generally slower than DSL and Cable. However the slower upload speed may be almost unnoticeable because typical Internet usage patterns have the vast majority of data sent from the Internet down to the end user (which is a satellite strength), while only minimal bandwidth is required for the user to request this information (keystrokes and mouse clicks). A major benefit that our high-speed satellite service has over DSL and Cable involves the three distinct information delivery routes through which it can
