Re: [DISH] How does Dish Network Internet work?

said by Hayward0:

First of all you are right sat internet sucks.

That is not what DISH does but does provide alternate service options via your EXISTING internet connection (Like SLING and DISH Online), not they provide.

The internet service Dish sells is repackaged DSL not saatelite.

Dish internet is satellite and will need a seperate dish the one on the ISP news has to do with the Echostar 17 satellite. Echosatr owns both Dish and Hughes.

So in reality it is HughesNet You can also buy independently.

Where Sat internet is not required, DISH also resells DSL, here it is ATT.

Yep Hughesnet, thanks for the info on Dish & AT&T, I can get them but 5GB a month just won't cut it, so satellite for everything.
