Do you have to have a dish on the top of your house for internet?
I’m asking this because I’m getting internet on Tuesday and I forgot to ask.

Internet where I live coming in by wire / fiber optics. Who is doing the install ?
Here it runs over the phone lines.

Your telephone provider should be able to give you high speed, but rural areas don’t have it through the phone lines so,you need a dish and it is satellite internet and you will need a dish.
Fidelity’ website says cable, DSL or Fiber; I didn’t see any dishes mentioned.
My service is via coaxial cable.
Some ISPs provide internet service via satellite dishes, but that’s mainly in rural areas where broadband cabling doesn’t run.
No, I’m in the boonies of Missouri and no dish on my home, those things are ugly. Wifi gateway I believe.
Depends where you are. Some places can only get satellite broadband but it’s expensive and a bit crap (as satellite only provides the downlink and the uplink goes via your normal telephone line).
@Nevada83 hasn’t been on since Tuesday, when the install was to take place.
Guys, not to worry. It took place and all he had to do is drill a hole in my wall and install some stuff
