What HughesNet Satellite Services Will Offer You

First thing to note about HughesNet is that it offers a super fast Internet and cable connection for those customers who cannot get cable or DSL type connections where they live. This is usually true for folks who live in the country side, where there are no other high speed Internet connections of any kind or type. HughesNet is fast, simple, and cost effective for such customers. It's a company that does what it promises and it delivers more than promised.

HughesNet High-Speed Internet

HughesNet broadband satellite service is available to everyone in the continental 48 states. To have HughesNet installed on your property, you must meet only one condition: you must have a clear and unobstructed view of the Southern sky. With HughesNet, not only will you be able to start surfing the Web as soon as you sit down at your computer, but you’ll be sitting down to a very fast connection. You’ll be able to download large files like music and picture files in minutes or seconds, not hours, and going from one Web page to the next will take as long as flipping through the pages of a regular book!

For a better understanding of HughesNet Internet (broadband) service speed, refer to the following service comparison to the dial-up service:

Home is up to 15x faster than dial-up*
Pro is up to 20x faster than dial-up*
ProPlus is up to 30x faster than dial-up*
Elite is up to 35x faster than dial-up*
ElitePlus is up to 50x faster than dial-up*

It takes HughesNet only a little over 16 seconds to download a 1 MB video clip file, while it takes a traditional dial-up connection almost five minutes! And that's just for a video clip. If you want to download a 4 MB audio file, HughesNet can get you that file in less than a minute, whereas it might take a dial-up connection almost 20 minutes! That's a long time to wait.

In terms of actual numbers, HughesNet provides download speeds of up to 2Mbps and upload speeds of up to 500 Kbps.
