What Is HughesNet?
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?
Hughes Net delivers high-speed wireless Internet over
satellite-not over your telephone line-so you can surf
and talk at the same time. A certified Hughes Net 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!

dial-up connection, logging in and slow surfing speeds.
