Re: LOOK in Niagara Region?
I don't think its a sat system.
Check out #3 from the FAQ located here:
3. How does it work?
In simple terms, when you request a packet of information (i.e. www address), it is sent out over your phone line. The request is then routed to the Internet and the response is received at LOOK's Headend. The data collected is then sent from one of LOOK's transmitters in your area to the antenna at your home via a dedicated wireless data channel. This data is then delivered to LOOK's high-speed wireless modem and downloaded to your computer. On Ultrafast 1, the data is returned to the server via telco-return, giving it a speed at 33.6Kbps. On our Ultrafast 2 service, the data is returned to the server by the antennae at a speed of 200Kbps! |
