CES 2011: Fast satellite broadband comes within reach

At the Consumer Electronics Show, Dish Network announced that it will launch its advanced satellite broadband packages with up to 12 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload speeds bundled with a variety of its TV programming packages.

The Dish broadband bundle includes:

· Bundles starting at $79.98 per month

· Up to12 Mbps download speeds

· 24/7 telephone tech support at no additional charge

· Installation starting at $99

Dish’s bundled video and broadband products offer consumers speed, value and excellent customer service with a single bill and one installation. The new bundled offer is a great alternative for the millions of American consumers, mostly rural, with limited broadband options.

“This is one more example of Dish meeting the needs of consumers,”” said Dish CEO Joe Clayton. “”The market potential for this new Internet service is substantial given the nearly eight million to 10 million mostly rural American households that are unserved and millions more left with slower broadband alternatives.””

ViaSat will provide the satellite delivery services enhanced by Dish billing, installation, customer service and merchandising.
