Digital Satellite Systems (DSS), or direct broadcast satellite, lets you get Internet
information by satellite. To connect, you use a
24-inch antenna, a coaxial cable, a PC adapter card, and Windows-based software.
With early satellite systems, you received data from the Internet at a high speed via the
satellite, but to send data to the Internet, you needed a dial-up connection and an ISP. But early satellite systems does not require the ISP at all. Uploads and download are handled by the satellite only. Download speeds can be as high as 500 Mbps,
although there is a slight delay before the data begins flowing, which can affect highly
interactive Internet applications like games.
