Thread: Disadvantages of Satellite Internet

There are many disadvantages of the Satellite Internet. Like it has high latency compared to other broadband services. This is more common in 2-way satellite service. Then Satellite Internet is more unreliable as there are a lot of drop-outs which are common when you are traveling or if there is a disturbed weather. It is important to accurately point to the satellite orbiting overhead the narrow-beam highly directional antenna. Then the Fair Access Policy also limits the heavy usage which is applied by the service provider. The VPN use is often problematic and is restricted with satellite broadband. It is available at a price though. Since it is a one-way satellite service it requires the use of a modem.

satellite internet is not prefer for internet users it may be home or office user satellite internet is the only choice if there is no feasibility of other mode of internet like wired or wireless.

Satellite internet having many issues like data transmission delay, and in voip echo your voice reach the calling party after few seconds delay at the data have to be sent in the space at 100000's of kms satellite internet always having very less upload speed like if you have 2mbps then your upload will be only 128kbps or below. max upload on a satellite you can get in India is only 1mbps to max 1.5mbps not more then that in Qband equipment which is used by Star net Satellites which have a Mesh system.
