How does DSL Service stack up to Satellite internet service?

Written by: Brad Dudley - Sep 7, 2008

Well, basically dsl service and satellite internet service are both usually 1.5 MBPS. There are exceptions, however. Some satellite internet service providers do offer a slower version at a discounted rate. As far as reliability and quality, though, satellite internet service can't hold a candle to dsl service. If you have satellite tv, you know what I am talking about. The loss ofservice when it rains and other weather related phenomina. The same kinds of things affect satellite internet service. As long as you have a working phone line you can get dsl service. Dsl service is favored by most consumers but is not available everywhere, but satellite internet service is available nearly everywhere. The speed of your internet connection is also affected less by oversubscription with satellite than dsl service.
