WHAT IS SATELLITE BROADBAND??
Satellite Internet access is Internet access provided through satellites. The service can be provided to users world-wide through Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Geostationary satellites can offer higher data speeds, but their signals cannot reach some polar regions of the world. Different types of satellite systems have a wide range of different features and technical limitations, which can greatly affect their usefulness and performance in specific applications.

Two-way satellite Internet service involves both sending and receiving data from the remote VSAT site via satellite to a hub teleport, which then relays data via the terrestrial Internet. The satellite dish at each location must be precisely pointed to avoid interference with other satellites. Some providers oblige the customer to pay for a member of the provider's staff to install the system and correctly align the dish although some ISP’s system encourages user-installation and provides detailed instructions for this. TVS-UK does not allow this to their own customers due to the problems that can occur after installation, at each VSAT site the uplink frequency, bit rate and power must be accurately set, under control of the service provider hub.

Satellite internet customers range from individual home users with one PC to large remote business sites with several hundred PCs. Home users tend to make use of shared satellite capacity, to reduce the cost, while still allowing high peak bit rates when congestion is absent. There are usually restrictive time based bandwidth allowances so that each user gets their fair share, according to their payment. When a user exceeds their Mbytes allowances, the company may slow down their access; deprioritise their traffic or charge for the excess bandwidth used. For consumer satellite internet, the allowance can typically range from 200 MB per day to 17,000 MB per month.[2][3][4] A shared download carrier may have a bit rate of 1 to 40 Mbit/s and be shared by up to 100 to 4000 end users. Note that the average bit rate per end user PC is only about 10 - 20kbit/s
