Exede (formerly Wildblue) Satellite Internet  San Antonio TX

One of things that people love about San Antonio is that it is a small town. It is rural and away from the congestion in Bexar. All of the space and lack of sprawl that makes living in San Antonio,TX enjoyable also makes it an area that does not have a strong and reliable public infrastructure. The town is not even incorporated and shares some services with other cities Bexar. A lack of a decent infrastructure is a problem for many of the smaller communities throughout Texas. One of the last services to arrive in San Antonio has been Internet access.

Traditional Internet access has been delivered through phone lines. Dial-up services require antiquated modems that are not present in most modern computer devices. Dial-up is also incredibly slow and takes a long time to load even the simplest websites with graphics. A digital subscriber line (DSL) can provide broadband access through phone lines. DSL requires that the correct infrastructure exist between the home and the central switching station for the local telephone provider. This does not always exist in all of San Antonio. DSL and Cable is also very dependent on distance in order to deliver fast access. San Antonio is far enough away from Bexar so that DSL and Cable signals degrade and provide only minimal download speeds.

One option that is available in every part of San Antonio,TX is satellite Internet, rural internet through Exede (formerly Wildblue). Satellite Internet provider access delivers the Internet directly into the home from satellites that are sitting in orbit. Installation is very simple and only requires a small mini-dish that is mounted on the side of the home or in a clear area under open skies. This dish receives the signal and then sends it into the home through a standard cable. The only other requirement is a satellite modem in the home that connects directly to a computer or laptop.

Exede provides residents of San Antonio with the fastest satellite Internet provider and installer service available. Download speeds can reach a maximum of 12 megabits per second so that streaming media and large files are downloaded in a fraction of the time that DSL would take. There are several service plans available through Exede so that every home can get the level of access that is needed. Installation is performed by trained professionals and generally occurs in less than two weeks after ordering. Package deals and discounts on initial monthly fees and installation charges are also available.
