Sportsmen Information Service offers high-speed Internet with Exede satellite service

Rural Larimer County residents now have access to Exede, a high-speed satellite Internet service earning awards and recognition nationwide. The 12 Mbps download speed offered by Exede Internet is eight times faster than previous generation satellite services – and significantly faster than average DSL service. Sportsmen Information Service provides sales and installation of Exede for Bellvue, Livermore and Red Feather Lakes.

“As a local dealer serving this community for many years, I’m pleased to provide super-fast Internet to households that have never been able to get speeds like this in the past,” said Bill Bilsing, owner, of Sportsmen Information Service. “My customers are very pleased with the speed and reliability of Exede Internet, and we look forward to providing service to many more customers here in the remote areas of Larimer County.”

Unlike some Internet services that require extensive infrastructure, Bilsing said that, since Exede comes directly from satellite, it’s available today to just about anyone in the area. The system requires only a clear view of the southern sky and installation of a small dish, similar to satellite TV. Standard installation is free, and a current promotion for Exede offers complete setup for zero money down. Monthly plans start at $49.99. A VoIP home phone service starting at $19.99/mo is also available, a significant savings over traditional service from the phone company.

“There’s no need to wait any longer to upgrade to something a lot better,” Bilsing said. “We can usually get your installation completed within just a few days once you call. Or you can check out Exede for yourself at our office at 789 W 10th Street in Loveland.”

To get Exede Internet installed at your home, call Sportsmen Information Service at 970-214-6997.
