New Haven, CT has been for a long time a city that has been limited in options for high-speed internet service providers. Most households and companies can get cable broadband services from the likes of Comcast Xfinity, Optimum, and Frontier. Though these companies offer reasonable internet speed, clients have many issues such as connectivity issues, unstable connection, frequent disconnection, and unsatisfactory service. However, there is relief in sight due to a new satellite internet service provided by Dish Network.
Dish Network started Dish Net satellite internet service provider in Connecticut, which is aiming at delivering faster internet connection in such regions as New Haven. Dish Net takes advantage of the vast satellite network of Dish to offer a broadband connection that can compete with fiber optic cable connection without having to dig trenches to lay cables through people’s homes and or businesses.
How Satellite Internet Works
Unlike the fiber optic cables that transmit data through underground cables, satellite internet relays signals to a dish installed outside a customer’s home or office. It links to a modem/router inside to relay the signal of the dish. The satellite dishes are pointing toward the southern sky where geostationary satellites are positioned at fixed points above the earth.
They proceed from the customer’s dish to a satellite that relays the requests back down to an earth station. That station connects to the main Internet backbone pulls the requested sites, videos, etc., and then sends that information back up to the satellite. It takes the information back through space back to the subscriber’s dish and into their devices.
This all happens almost simultaneously, and the total latency is under one second, as a rule. That should be compared to cruising through the fiber optic cables that stretch for miles beneath the earth. Satellite internet is the space “shortcut” that helps to link the areas where there is no cable and fiber internet.
Blazing Fast Speeds
Dish Net provides up to 100Mbps download speed in Connecticut. Upload speeds reach 10Mbps. These speeds are almost comparable to the cable and first-tier fiber optic service providers. The users can seamlessly play HD video, games online, make a video call, upload photos, and do any other heavy internet activity without any hitch, lag, buffering or even getting a headache.
While the cable network remains intermittent and inconsistent during congestion, Dish Net customers are always assured of steady connectivity and data speeds due to the dedicated satellite network. Neither do signals fade with distance for that matter. Dish Net provides its services in New Haven at par with other areas including Bethany, Orange, and Woodbridge among others.
Affordable Pricing
In addition to fast speeds, Dish Net stands out for reasonable pricing:
- 25Mbps Download/3Mbps Upload: $49. 99/month
- 50Mbps Download/5Mbps Upload: $69. 99 a month
- 100Mbps Download/10Mbps Upload $2. 67/month
Pricing is steady across all of Connecticut, and the services are quite affordable. They do not have teaser rates that jump up after a year or charges to connect homes in the countryside. Equipment fees also have their charges removed after 3 months of service have been offered. Compare Dish’s direct pricing strategy to the additional hidden fees and taxes that are common with cable providers that make them seem cheaper than Dish only in the short run.
Local Installers Prepared to Assist
Dish Net has many authorized retailers in Connecticut, and Dish is a well-recognized satellite TV company that sells Dish Net, installs it and provides support. New Haven residents can check with Dish retailers in their locality such as Satellite Solutions Plus in North Haven or S & G Satellite in Hamden. Usually, technicians install equipment within 5-7 business days after the service has been ordered. The installation fees are exempted for new clients in most cases.
The basic Dish Net setup includes:
- Home Antenna installed on the roof of the house for the areas having the view towards the southern direction.
- Television signals are received through coaxial cable into the house
- An all-in-one satellite modem with an inbuilt Wi-Fi router connects to devices
Everything ranging from shopping, and scheduling to installation and setup, to support and maintenance, is done through local technicians who understand Connecticut’s climate, geographical features, and requirements of different neighborhoods.
Bringing Options and Competition
Cities like New Haven and many others have long endured a situation where they had no options when it came to purchasing high-quality and fast internet. Limited DSL speed, limited data allowance, and reliance on phone lines prevented many households from enjoying modern apps, streaming services, and remote work.
Using satellite technology, Dish introduces another player competing against the cable monopolist. They can now receive higher speeds, increased reliability, and affordable prices that are nationwide without having to go out of town. The advent of Dish Net now provides the people of New Haven equal opportunity to sit at the table of the connected future.
