A lot of Americans who were originally really excited about all the hype surrounding a cable Internet connection are now disappointed with their service. This steams for a number of different reasons, but there are several overarching complaints that users have had. One of the main complaints regards the cable Internet installation process.

First, many people who signed up for a cable Internet plan had to wait for weeks and weeks just to start their Internet service. The cable companies' poor planning and forethought lead to this and as a result there were many dissatisfied customers, many of whom switched to DSL or satellite Internet before they even had their cable Internet connection set up. Once these people finally got an installation specialist to their homes, they then found out that it could take anywhere from three to six hours to do the installation.

Most busy Americans do not have three to six hours to sit around and wait for the cable installation specialist to drill holes in their walls and run wires all around their homes or apartments. And these are the three to six hours that are being spent with the cable service representative after waiting all day for him or her to arrive within the twelve-hour time slot that the cable companies give potential customers. After the cable box for the Internet is installed in the home, usually at a place of the company's choosing that is unsightly in your home and glaringly unsightly in your apartment. There are wires crisscrossing everywhere, running along floor seams and over doorframes, and often in contrast to the colors of the walls, moldings and flooring.

One of the main contrasts between the set up of cable and satellite Internet is the exact fact that satellite does not need to install a huge box inside your home to make it operate. It simply places a mini dish outside of your home or apartment and out of sight. Your home or apartment will be free of all the wires all over the place and you can enjoy cable Internet speeds without all of the mess. In addition to the installation mess, when it comes time to move you have to deal with taking all of the wiring out, especially if you're renting an apartment.

Taking the wiring out can be very damaging to your home because the technicians are not interior design specialists and staple gun the wires into the siding with little regard for what its going to do to the wood or other material that they are harnessing the wire cabling down to. But with satellite broadband service, you simply remove the dish and take it and your modem to your next residence and have the satellite company set it up again for you. You're clearly welcome to do it yourself as well. Either way, saving you time and not damaging your home. So, if you want to save yourself the headache of a cable Internet installation, satellite Internet may be the solution for you.
