HughesNet Residential Services

It’s hard to find a dialup user anymore. As the cost of fast internet has dropped and as the speed demands of today’s websites have increased, it’s nearly impossible to have a positive internet experience with a slow connection. Dialup technology is obsolete and with good reason. There is no sense in suffering through slow connections, long dial-in delays, frustrating busy signals, and dropped connections.

With the many fast internet options available, a huge number of customers are flocking to the advantages of broadband satellite internet. Cable and DSL providers often offer services only in large metropolitan areas, freezing out millions of potential subscribers. Satellite doesn’t have that limitation. Anyone in the continental United States with a clear view of the southern sky can enjoy the benefits of HughesNet broadband.

Three HughesNet Residential Plans to Choose From

We don’t try to create one plan to meet everyone’s needs. You have needs that are different from your neighbors so we offer three HughesNet Residential plans to choose from plus additional customization options so you can get exactly the broadband satellite internet you need.

HughesNet Home was designed specifically for the needs of most residential users. Rather than having to dial in and wait and wait for your connection to go through, you are connected as soon as you turn on the computer. You can download at up to 700 Kbps which is twelve times faster than a 56k dialup connection. With an upload speed of up to 128 Kbps and a 200 MB download fair access threshold, this broadband satellite internet plan is perfect for most families.

HughesNet Pro is the HughesNet broadband plan for the user who wants a little more. It has all of the advantages of the HughesNet Home plan but with the higher download speed of up to 1 Mbps, which is around eighteen times as fast as dialup, and a faster upload speed (200 Kbps). It bumps your download threshold up to 350 MB. This plan is good for users who will be sharing the broadband satellite internet connection between two computers, who are running a business, or who just want to download files faster.

HughesNet ProPlus is the fastest of the HughesNet Residential plans. Not only does this plan bump download speeds up to 1.5 Mbps, more than twenty-five times faster than dialup, but you get faster uploads (200 Kbps) and a much larger download threshold (425 MB). You have the option of a static IP address for only $10/month which is necessary if you want to run your own website or other server out of your home. If you will be using HughesNet broadband to connect to your work computer from home, your company may require you to have a static IP for security reasons. ProPlus is a great broadband satellite internet choice for large families that will have three or more computers sharing the line, operate a home business, or do a lot of work from home.

All of the HughesNet Residential plans share these powerful features:

• State of the art satellite equipment including .74m antenna, 1W radio, and HN9000 modem
• 24-month warranty on all HughesNet broadband hardware
• 5 email accounts so each member of your family can have a separate address
• Email protection to protect your family against the annoyances and dangers of spam
• 24/7 live technical support from trained HughesNet broadband specialists

Choice of Payment Plans

We offer two ways for you to pay the initial HughesNet broadband activation fee:

• Upfront: pay $399.98 up front to get all the broadband satellite internet equipment you need. There are no monthly leasing fees like cable or DSL will charge you.
• Promotional: pay nothing up front and you still get all the HughesNet broadband equipment. Pay an extra $20 per month for 24 months and the equipment is yours. After 24 months, your monthly fee reverts to the normal monthly fee for your plan. With cable and DSL equipment leasing you keep paying equipment fees as long as you are a subscriber, even well after the equipment is paid for!

Act now and get a $100 broadband satellite internet equipment mail in rebate. That means that if you pay up front you will be out of pocket only $299.98 after the rebate. If you elect promotional pricing, you still get to use the rebate meaning you get paid $100 just for signing up with us!

*Promotional plan monthly fee reverts to normal HughesNet Residential monthly fee after 24 months

More Options for Business Customers

If you are running a business, either out of your home or in an office, and are looking for a broadband satellite internet solution then HughesNet can help there as well.

The HughesNet Residential plans may provide adequate internet connectivity for a small business run out of your home, although we recommend at least the ProPlus plan for the speed and reliability you would need.

Larger organizations would be better served by the HughesNet broadband plans designed specifically for businesses, such as our Elite or ElitePlus products. Faster speed, higher thresholds, more email accounts, and more IP addresses are all features designed for the increased demands of the business user.

Whether you are a residential or business customer, call today and let one of our experienced and friendly satellite specialists help you select the ideal broadband satellite internet for you. You can be online in a couple of weeks, enjoying the amazing speed and features of a fast connection.
