In our last newsletter we had asked our customers how Galaxy Broadband has changed their lives and the winner would have their response published on our webpage. Although we received much feedback, there can only be one winner.

Congratulations Lori Hunt of Sherwood Park, AB!

When my fiancé and I moved back to our acreage from the city, my business as a realtor was crippled. I couldn't even send a 7-page contract through my web-based fax and his career as a web site developer came to a standstill. Thanks to Galaxy, we are back on track and are as busy as ever. I thank my lucky stars every day that I didn't decide to wait until high-speed came to our area!

Check out our testimonials section to see the runner-ups and some other great feedback!

Galaxy has extended our FAP free period for all of our SkySurf and SkyWay customers! The standard FAP (Fair Access Policy) that controls the daily download capacity of your particular service plan has been removed for a five hour period every night from 2 a.m to 7 a.m. EST. This great feature is just one more way Galaxy brings you more value for your surfing dollar. Watch for new software available through our website soon to help you schedule and manage those large downloads! (Speeds are still subject to your particular service plan)

Check out Galaxy'snew line up of PREMIUM service plans for people who need more from their internet. Do you have specific applications that you just need to work? Want more than a 'best effort" guarantee for your speeds?

What differentiates Galaxy Broadband's Premium Service from other satellite internet services?

Galaxy operates our Premium services at a lower "shared ratio" than other services, resulting in much smoother and consistent performance. Our Premium Services require a larger antenna (98 cm minimum) and operate on a Ku frequency. These two features combined result in better resiliency in adverse weather conditions, for those that just need stay connected!

Galaxy's reduced latency times and more consistent speeds on our Premium plans allow certain applications to work better over satellite. Galaxy's Premium Service Plans, proving once again that not all satellite internet is created equal!
