It’s now official and the satellite Internet speed in rural areas has doubled for the same price. And that is not all, since citizens who live in these territories will not have any problem contracting the satellite network connection, since it will reach every corner of the Spanish map, especially in rural areas, thanks to the intervention of the company that offers this type of services, Hispasat.
It seems that satellite connection is the future, and this has been demonstrated by companies such as the Starlink project, owned by Elon Musk, or the Spanish Hispasat, which has raised the fiber speed level to the maximum possible to guarantee a better experience. browsing through the Internet in those sparsely populated areas where there was barely any coverage.
200 Mbps browsing for the same price
The measure promoted last summer by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, accompanied by the presence of Hispasat, to provide an Internet service through satellite connection, has been considerably improved to double the initial speed. Specifically, users will experience an increase from 100 Mbps to the maximum 200 Mbps that can be contracted from now on for 35 euros, the same price that the UNICO Rural Demand program had initially established.
In turn, this service, which was awarded to Hispasat for 76.3 million euros, will cover 100% of the Spanish territory, so it can be contracted anywhere in the country without any problem. Furthermore, regarding what the connection figures represent, Hispasat will offer 200 Mbps download speed and 10 Mbps upload speed, which until now was at 5 Mbps, and a latency of 690 ms.
No permanence and data limit
Consequently, there is a monthly data limit that amounts to 150Gigabytes/month for both the download and upload connections, so if that data range is exceeded, the service will continue to operate more smoothly, although you have the possibility of obtaining additional gigabytes to regain priority connection speed. The good news is that between 1:00 and 6:00, that data is not counted.
Likewise, this Internet service has no permanence and the connection is completely free. It is also compatible with VOIP, that is, with the voice calling system over the network, with the advantage that retail operators can offer other types of incentives, such as managing IoT devices, being able to install IPTV decoders, using a VPN , include mobile telephony, online legal assistance, client area, medical, veterinary, fixed IP, etc. Among these operators that are part of the program, we can find Eurona or Konnect,
Finally, if you want to contract Hispasat’s satellite network connection, it is important that you meet a series of requirements detailed on its official website Connect35with the equipment configuration recommendations, and know the operations used for the installation of all the material.
