Now you can get the latest technology in high-speed Internet service in your home or business regardless of your location. Jackpine SkySurfer high-speed satellite Internet service is available to almost anyone with a PC and a view of the southeastern sky. It’s fast, reliable, affordable, and available today!

 

How It Works:

A SkySurfer satellite dish is installed at your home or business so it faces the southeastern sky. A cable is run from the dish to an internal satellite receiver that is easily installed in your computer’s available PCI slot. The system works by giving you a 400K high-speed connection when you are downloading files from the Internet, which is basically every time you look at a Web page, check your email, or download a file. Your computer is also connected via a normal modem to your telephone line and the Internet. This line is used for sending “requests” to the Internet over the dial-up connection. Because the information in these requests are small (like when you type in a URL and hit enter) and your satellite downloads are so quick, you can surf the Internet at super fast speeds.
