This wikiHow teaches you how to install and use Satellite internet in your home or mobile location. Satellite Internet is often the only option for people living in remote, rural areas in which cable companies don't offer service. Keep in mind that Satellite Internet can be erratic, so large-bandwidth actions such as streaming HD video or playing online video games may be impossible during certain times in the day.

Things You Should Know

  • If multiple satellite providers are available in your area, compare their download and upload speeds and check out customer reviews.
  • If you already have satellite television service, check with your provider to see if they offer an internet plan.
  • Most satellite internet providers will come to your location and install the dish for you. If not, they'll provide you with an easy installation guide.
