Exede Internet – HOW IT WORKS
When you sign up for Exede Internet, you get high-speed speed internet access. In case you sometimes wonder how satellite internet actually works, here is a brief description. The internet system works by connecting you to one of our available high capacity satellites. Whenever you connect your computer to our service, you receive internet speeds that are a lot faster than what you can get with a dial-up connection. In fact, these speeds are much higher than those you can get from wireless or DSL options. The new Exede 12 service offers you speeds that are up to 8 times faster than the ordinary 1.5 Mbps DSL service with file transfer speeds that are up to an astonishing 200 times faster than those offered by a dial-up service. In order to enjoy the service, you just need a small 30 inch satellite dish and a satellite modem. Upon signing up for our service, we provide you with all the equipment you need. In addition, we send certified installation professionals to install the connection for you at no charge.
Why you need High Speed Internet
Whether you browse the internet for business or pleasure, it is important to have high speed internet. With fast internet you get:
- Faster page load time – When you are using the internet for research, you need the pages to load faster to give you an opportunity to study the contents. It is stressful and annoying when you have to wait for long for a single page to load

- Enables faster downloads – If you are running an enterprise, you may need to download as well as upload business information. A fast internet will make it possible to upload material for use by your clients. It also makes it easier to download online resources that are useful to your business.

Satellite technology has been around for quite some time, but it's only been recently that it's been popular for the consumer market in areas where cable and fiber optic internet connections aren't available. The truth is that there are a lot of options when you're closer to a data center geographically, but not every town and every home is. For those customers, the only internet option has been dial-up and DSL, which utilize land line connections to bring you the internet. While they may have been capable in the past, there's more content, and bigger file sizes, than ever before.
More content, and services like online streaming, mean that there's an increasing demand for speed and reliability. That's where Exede steps in; with an entire communications system set in place, both on Earth and in orbit, Exede can beam the internet to you, wherever you are, all at speeds that are more than 200x faster than a dial-up connection, and 8x as fast as DSL. All it takes is a satellite dish, a modem, and a computer.
- We handle the installation and setup for you, so no worrying about needing a technical degree just to get your internet running. We make the entire process of installation incredibly easy, and fast. Once we've got the equipment in place, you will get a signal from our orbital satellite communications system. It's just that fast.
- Your computer or internet-ready device is connected to a modem, which is connected to a satellite internet dish mounted on your home. Once the modem and dish are setup, you'll be ready to go! There won't need to be any adjustments or changes after initial installation, but we do handle repairs and maintenance, which you can call to schedule at any time.
- Our ViaSat-1 satellite relays information to and from your home dish at lightning fast speeds. Exede uses some of the latest in satellite technology to give our users a better online browsing and communications experience, and it shows in just how fast our satellite internet can download and upload information. If you've been stuck with dial-up and DSL, you'll be amazed at just how quickly you can browse the net, and it's all thanks to our ViaSat-1 in the sky.
