Compare Satellite Internet to Dial-Up
In the time it takes to download a 4 MB MP3 audio file using dial-up, you could download it up to 55 times using a HughesNet satellite Internet connection. Using dial-up also ties up your phone lines, so callers receive either your voice mail or a busy signal if they call while you’re online. Satellite Internet users are discovering how much easier it is to communicate, surf, shop and conduct business on the web with a high-speed broadband connection.
The chart below compares a typical dial-up connection with HughesNet service plan offerings. Check out the difference a high-speed connection can make.

In today’s world of instant communication, using a slow connection speed can keep you from receiving information when you want it – and need it. But cable and DSL Internet providers have been slow to expand their services to some parts of the country, leaving residents in these areas with dial-up as their only Internet option. This means waiting up to an hour in some cases for software upgrades to download.
HughesNet offers a lightening-fast connection that is always on – so no more dialing in, no more dropped connections and no more waiting. Each user has a unique purpose for using the Internet, and HughesNet offers a package to meet every need.
The Home plan is ideal for occasional surfing using one computer, typically by the casual Internet user. The Pro plan bumps the speed up a notch and is perfect for moderate Internet use with light downloading. For frequent use by families or small home-based businesses, the ProPlus plan is a good option. And for heavy, high-speed Internet use requiring frequent downloading and remote access capabilities, the Elite and ElitePlus plans are optimal choices.
The maximum speeds reached by these HughesNet satellite Internet service plans allow for faster surfing and a better online experience for you.
