What is the difference between DSL and satellite high-speed broadband?
DSL operates over a special telephone cable, and is distance limited. DSL only covers approximately a three-mile radius from where the cable has been laid. With satellite broadband, as long as you can point the satellite dish towards the geosynchronous orbiting satellite you can receive the signal. The downstream comes into your computer through radio-waves, not back through your telephone line, which is severely limited.
