What Is Hughes Net?
Hughes Net is the high-speed Internet service provider
(ISP) that's available to everyone in the contiguous
U.S. with a clear view of the southern sky. Hughes Net uses satellite broadband technology to give you
a super-fast, always-on Internet connection-so you
can enjoy the Internet the way it was meant to be.
Hughes Net gets you online instantly, lets you surf
and open pages faster and download files in a fraction
of the time it takes a dial-up modem.
How does HughesNet
work?
HughesNet delivers high-speed wireless Internet over
satellite-not over your telephone line-so you can surf
and talk at the same time. A certified HughesNet installer
will connect your computer to a satellite broadband modem
and link it to a satellite dish (antenna). The satellite
dish sends and receives information (i.e., email, Web
pages, files) over the Internet and delivers it your
computer almost instantly!
