[Satellite: A satellite ISP is the last option for broadband. It's the least-used connection for residential broadband Internet service. But for those living in isolated, rural areas with no access to DSL or cable, satellite Internet service is about the only option. Like satellite TV, satellite Internet requires you to attach a dish to your home which then absorbs broadcasted Internet signals. Monthly fees range from $50 to over $80, and that doesn't include the hundreds required for hardware. Maximum data transmission speeds are currently around 1,500 Kbps downstream – quite a bit slower than other broadband offerings. Upload is also exceedingly slow since it relies on a standard dial-up connection. ]
