Compare
Business grade satellite Internet service is so vastly different from residential Internet service, comparing the two is very difficult. But we must at least look at the differences. Let’s start with the satellite dish itself. The standard size of a business grade satellite dish is 1.2 meters. Residential satellite retailers may provide you with a 0.74 meter dish, often called a “mini-dish.” Also, lets look at the satellite modem,...

Rain Fade is a short period (usually less than five minutes) during which a loss of satellite signal occurs because intense storm cells are located directly between the satellite and the satellite dish. In these intense storms, the separation of the water droplets approximates the signal wavelength. This effectively creates a temporary “wall” of water that reflects and distorts the satellite signal, resulting in rain fade.

Twice a year, the orbit of the satellite around the earth and the earth around the sun align in such a way that places the sun directly behind the satellite, overwhelming and temporarily blinding your satellite signal. This is called a sun fade, sun transit or sun outage. In the northern hemisphere these outages occur before the equinox in the spring , and after the equinox in fall. In the southern hemisphere they occur the opposite. Sun fades only last for a few minutes each day over one to several days. The times can be predicted, as they occur on a regular schedule.
