Compare HughesNet Satellite Internet Plans
Once you have decided that broadband satellite internet is the
right fast internet connection for your home or business, you need to give some
thought to what your specific needs are. HughesNet offers several different
satellite internet service plans as well as a host of optional
additions that let you create the ideal internet connection for you.
A single home user may just want faster browsing so would be satisfied with our
least expensive plan. A residential user with a large family might be better
off opting for a plan with greater bandwidth. Business users have unique needs
and we have satellite internet service plans with options such
as static IP addresses and service assurance plans to meet their requirements.
Right now HughesNet offers five broadband satellite internet plans
that should meet the needs of almost any potential customers.

Home is the broadband satellite internet plan for casual
residential users. Although it is our lowest plan, it still offers speeds over
ten times as fast as a 56k dialup connection. Web pages load as fast as you can
click on a link and files download in a flash. The plan offers 5 email accounts,
meaning that each person in your family can have a separate address so there is no
confusion over who gets what message. Even single users can benefit, setting up
different email accounts for different purposes such as having a clean address that
you give to only friends and family so you wonִ get spam and a dirty address that
you give you companies who want your email.
Pro is the plan for the residential power-user who
demands more from satellite internet service. It provides 50%
more speed than our Home plan and a much higher download threshold, which makes
it ideal for people who get lots of large files or will have two computers sharing
the connection. It's also a popular choice for home business owners who are
looking for an inexpensive but fast broadband satellite internet
connection.
ProPlus is a hybrid plan, combining the best aspects of both
residential and business satellite internet connections. It is
more than twice as fast as the Home plan, allowing massive downloads and operating
smoothly even when many people are accessing the connection at the same time.
It allows options in demand by business owners such as a static IP address.
Elite is one of our dedicated business satellite internet service
products. Of course it offers great download speeds but adds features important
to a business connection such as faster upload speeds for sending files to clients
or co-workers, up to 10 email addresses so employees can each have their own accounts,
and up to 5 static IP addresses for your business network.
ElitePlus is our premium business broadband satellite internet
product, designed to accommodate even large business operations. It offers the
fastest upload, the fastest download, and the largest download threshold of any
of our satellite internet service plans. It provides 10 email addresses and uses
better equipment than the residential plans for a faster and more reliable connection.
You get this for a fraction of what a dedicated T1 line would cost you.
Features Common to All HughesNet Satellite Internet Service Plans
Looking at the differences helps you choose the broadband satellite internet
connection that is right for you, but there are a lot of great features that all of our plans have such as:
-
Professional installation by a certified and experienced satellite
internet service specialist so you can get connected as soon as possible
- NO equipment leasing fees that cost you far more than buying the equipment outright
- 2 GB of storage for each email account no matter how many email accounts the plan carries
- Email filtering to protect your family or business from spam and viruses
- 24/7 live technical support
- 24 month broadband satellite internet equipment warranty
- Your own customized HughesNet start page.
We also provide a wide range of optional services so you can customize your satellite
internet connection perfectly. These services include:
-
Service Assurance plans for businesses that need even more reliability from
their satellite internet service. Available in Basic and Plus, the plans provide
even more technical support, including onsite service and replacement of equipment.
- Dialup access so you can connect to your HughesNet account while travelling
-
Security Suite to protect your broadband satellite internet
connection from internet dangers. The suite includes a firewall, an antivirus
scanner, and an antispyware scanner.
- Hosting Plans from blogs to full-blown multimedia websites
We offer two ways to pay your broadband satellite internet
activation cost. If you pay up front, you get all the equipment you need with
no leasing costs bleeding you dry every month.
If you prefer, we offer promotional pricing that allows you to pay nothing up
front on our residential plans (pay only $299.99 up front for our two dedicated
business plans) then pay an extra $20/month for the first 24 months. After that,
you revert to paying the same monthly fee as everyone else on the same
satellite internet service plan. Cable and DSL providers often have
you paying equipment leasing fees as long as you are a subscriber, meaning you can
end up paying several times what the equipment is worth if you bought it up front!
Act now and get a $100 mail-in broadband satellite internet
equipment rebate saving you even more money off our low prices.
Best of all you arenִ limited to certain geographical areas or operating systems
like you are with cable and DSL providers. Anyone in the continental United States
running Windows or MacOS who has a clear view of the southern sky can use HughesNet
satellite internet service.
If you donִ see the plan to meet your needs, contact us about the many optional
features available. Odds are we can create the broadband satellite internet plan
that meets or exceeds your requirements.
Get away from the slow dialup or restricted cable or DSL connection you are using
now. Contact one of our satellite specialists and get your superfast online connection
in a matter of days.
