- Satellite:
Features: Uses satellites to provide internet connectivity, typically used in rural or remote areas where other options are unavailable. The signal travels from a satellite in space to a dish installed at the user's location. Speed: Generally slower than fiber and cable, with speeds ranging from 12 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Latency can be high due to the distance the signal travels. Use Case: Suitable for rural areas without other high-speed internet options. Example: A remote cabin in the mountains may rely on a satellite internet connection to access the web.
