Satellite broadband Internet access uses a satellite channel to
carry downlink traffic to the user. A satellite channel is
sometimes used also to carry the uplink traffic from large
sites. From small sites, a dial-up modem is the most
common form of back channel.
Typically a very large number of
users share each of the satellite channels carrying the broadband
service.
