This can run from three to six hundred dollars in most cases, although many satellite Internet providers will run promotions that waive the setup fees. Once the service is set up and running, the monthly bandwidth costs will generally range from $50 to $120 per month.

The connection to your high speed satellite Internet service is comprised of both indoor and outdoor equipment. Outside, there is an antenna and transmit-and-receive electronics, along with a connection to a small, unobtrusive dish. This equipment connects by coaxial cable to the Indoor Receive Unit (IRU) and Indoor Transmit Unit (ITU) which connect to your computer through a simple USB connector.
