The broadband satellite Internet service that Harbour IT offers is designed for people in rural Australia to connect to the Internet with a connection speed that is much faster than dial-up. This type of connection uses a large dish antenna to send and receive signals from a satellite orbiting the Earth. The satellite is what provides the Internet connection, because it is constantly receiving signals from the Internet service providers. It is a much more reliable and faster Internet connection that dial-up is. Dial-up runs off the phone line, and it becomes disrupted whenever the phone rings. Satellite connections do not become disrupted from minor things, so they are “always on” so to speak.
