When we get regular questions from customers we will try to get them posted here.

Q.    Will my internet speed increase?

A.    Most definitely, most of the dial up in rural areas, can be a low as 6 kbps.

Q.    Is the service effected by bad weather?

A.    Yes, anybody who tells you anything else is lying, I would be surprised if you connection works while it is snowing, or in some cases of torrential rain. Normal service would be resumed when the atmosphere clears. Cloud is not normally a problem.

Q.    Is there any microware energy emitted from the dish.

A.    Yes, but only in the direction of the Satellite. We do not recommend standing directly in front of the dish, with the equipment switched on. If you are working on the roof, or in the vicinity of the dish, turn off the equipment. you be exposed to no more radiation, with a dish on your roof, than you would be normally.
