Satellite internet is one of the best internet options for rural areas. Unlike land-based internet like cable and fiber, satellite internet is beamed from either geostationary satellites or low earth orbit satellites in the atmosphere down to your personal, home satellite dish. Satellite internet does have higher latency because of the distance it has to travel, but because it doesn’t require cable infrastructure, you can get it just about anywhere you get a clear view of the sky.
