Dish is launching a nationwide satellite broadband service in the United States, the company announced, Sept. 27. The operator is launching dishNET, a high-speed Internet service via satellite nationwide beginning in October. 

    DishNET will offer 4G-level speeds that Dish claims are about 50 percent faster than the typical residential broadband connections in American homes. The Internet service starts at $39.99 per month and is available with next-day installation. 
    "Today, we are launching a revolutionary consumer broadband service that delivers high-speed Internet available in metropolitan areas to rural markets nationwide. With nearly one-in-four rural residents lacking a high-speed connection, reaching these underserved markets is vital. Our mission is to provide broadband at an outstanding value with fast speeds and large data plans,” Dish’s CEO Joseph Clayton said in a statement.
