With the advent of broadband Internet, new technologies have allowed Internet users to access favorite websites at greater speeds. Unfortunately, most broadband Internet required access to cable television lines or specialized connections from a telephone company; this meant that those who lived in rural areas or who had unreliable telephone or cable companies in their area were unable to receive broadband connections. Satellite Internet connections changed this, allowing anyone with a clear southern view to have high-speed Internet access with no specialized wiring or cable required.
