What are some benefits of having a fast Internet
access?
Many times you might find yourself sitting on your computer waiting up to 5
minutes just for one home page to load. Most of the time it happens
because it is "Content Rich," meaning it has many pictures and active
moving things, sometimes even sound. This makes it very hard for a slow
modem connection to process so much information. As the Internet evolves,
so will "content." People are finding new ways to express themselves
through "content rich pages," leaving users frustrated because they have to
wait for the pages to load. With fast Wireless Internet access, there is no
need to wait.

Do I need a phone line?
NO! A phone line is not needed. The Wireless Internet connection is
bi-directional, meaning your unit will send and receive information, making
it a complete solution for Internet connectivity.
[TOP]
Is this like cable modems or ADSL?
Cable Modems and DSL are all dependent on physical wires, and a middle man
(i.e. phone/cable company). With Wireless Internet access you are not
dealing with wires, but directly with the ISP. There is no need for a
separate ISP.
[TOP]
Is internet access unlimited?
No, but with Wireless Internet access your computer is always connected.
There are no time limits of how long you can use it. There are transfer
limits per plan that should be enough for all internet users. Your computer
is connected 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year.
[TOP]
Is this the same as "satellite" Internet?
No! Wireless Internet is bi-directional unlike most satellite solutions,
where you download via the dish antenna, but you are also connected by phone
line to the Internet for uploading information. This wireless solution
eliminates the need for any dedicated phone lines, and therefore reduces
your costs.
Also, your signal only has to travel a few miles instead
of thousands to the satellite.
