music at much faster speeds than dial up.
Satellite broadband is technology where it
linked to a dish network subscriber service and
provides speeds similar to other broadband
technologies. Satellite broadband can deliver
speeds of up to 2 megabits per second (mbps)
downstream, and 1 mbps upstream. Compare this to
dial-up service that tops out at about 53
kilobits per second. That's about 39 times
slower than satellite broadband.
