Exede Satellite Internet Service Is Breaking News for Broadband Industry

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, MyBlueDish.com announced Exede Satellite Internet Service by ViaSat as being the company's latest broadband offering. This news has been expected for some time now, after a new satellite was launched toward the last quarter of 2011. However, the new brand name or even any specific details were not released to the public until last week. Last week at the popular CES show in Las Vegas ViaSat announced the new brand and then soon after announced the speeds and pricing of the different packages that will be available to customers.

This is huge news for the rural broadband industry because of the restrictions that have come with satellite internet service in the past. Before Exede, providers were known to only offer speeds to the residential market as high as 1.5mbps. However, now speeds up to 12mbps will be available to most of the United States. Finally people living in rural areas will be able to use technologies like VoIP, which have been out of reach with similar satellite services in the past. This will also enable faster music downloads and streaming video. What is most exciting is that the price for these services is not increasing in comparison to satellite broadband prices in the past. The price will still start at $49.99 for the basic package, and all packages will get the same great high speed internet. The only variation in packages will be the amount of data that can be downloaded/uploaded. The most basic package will offer up to 7.5 GB of data and the most premier package will offer up to 25 GB, which is plenty of data for the majority of rural residents.

This new service is expected to change the playing field in the internet industry. Exede Satellite Internet Service is expected to have great customer service and reliability, given it is backed by ViaSat, which is one of the largest satellite technology companies in the world. People in remote areas will finally be connected in a way that they previously thought might never happen. This new technology will not only change how millions of people in rural areas live, but will also change how businesses operate in remote areas. Regardless, this new broadband service is likely to be a conversation starter for some time to come.
