Residential Internet
Including Starlink. Available anywhere you can see the sky — no cables, no towers required.
Satellite internet beams data between a dish at your home and satellites orbiting Earth. Unlike cable or fiber, it requires no ground-based infrastructure — making it the only broadband option for millions of rural Americans.
The landscape changed dramatically when SpaceX launched Starlink. Unlike older geostationary satellites 22,000 miles up, Starlink uses a constellation of low-earth orbit satellites just 340 miles above Earth — dramatically reducing latency and increasing speeds to levels comparable to cable internet.
Starlink by SpaceX has redefined satellite internet. With speeds of 50–200 Mbps, latency of 20–60ms, no data caps, and availability across all 50 states, it's the go-to choice for rural households with no other broadband options.
Satellite internet transmits data between your home dish and a satellite orbiting Earth. It's available virtually anywhere with a clear view of the sky, making it the only broadband option for many rural households.
For households with no other broadband options, Starlink is absolutely worth it. At $120/mo with speeds of 50–200 Mbps and no data caps, it's far superior to traditional satellite and most rural alternatives.
Starlink uses low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites roughly 340 miles up, resulting in much lower latency (20–60ms) and faster speeds. HughesNet uses geostationary satellites 22,000 miles up, causing high latency (600ms+) and slower speeds.
Starlink: yes, easily. Traditional satellite (HughesNet, Viasat): streaming works but video calls are difficult due to high latency.
