HughesNet Benefits
When shopping for high speed internet service for your home you have three choices: cable, DSL, and satellite. If you are looking for a business connection you can choose from these as well as dedicated business solutions such as T1 and SDSL.
Each of these connections has their advantages but a comparison of HughesNet benefits quickly makes it clear that our satellite high speed internet access is your best choice.
Today’s Web Surfers Have the Need for Speed
Face it – today’s internet isn’t like it was even ten years ago. The explosive growth of the net and the development of new web and multimedia technologies have made the old dial-up connection obsolete. Trying to navigate the web on dial-up is like driving your horse and buggy on the turnpike.
HughesNet gives you high speed internet access with speed up to 2 Mbps per second which is about thirty-five times as fast as a fast 56k dial-up connection.
What does this speed mean to you? It means you can surf as fast as you can click. Files that you used to download overnight can be pulled in a matter of minutes. Online video now plays smoothly rather than the old "play for a second, buffering, play for three seconds, buffering, play for two seconds, buffering..."
High speed internet service means you get more done. Whether you want a home connection to download music or a business connection to share files with co-workers, the less time you spend waiting for your connection the more you can accomplish.
But speed is only the first of many HughesNet benefits.
Leave Behind the Limits of Cable and DSL
You have options other than satellite when it comes to high speed internet access: cable and DSL. That is as long as you meet their restrictive requirements.
Cable internet is available only if you are on the cable company’s grid. That may seem like a wide area but there are locations even in major metropolitan areas that don’t have cable access. If you live outside the city then you are probably out of luck.
DSL offers even a smaller area. If you are lucky enough to live near a phone company central office you might get access, but a lot of people live in older neighborhoods are out of the area. The phone companies aren’t building offices in old neighborhoods; they would rather expand into new subdivisions. Even if you are within range, much of the phone network still uses old copper cabling that will prevent you from getting DSL until the lines are upgraded to fiber optic. That may be a long wait.
HughesNet benefits are available to anyone in the continental US who has a clear view of the southern sky. In many areas of the country, satellite is the only high speed internet service option since cable and phone companies don’t seem to think non-metropolitan customers are important.
Another limit to cable and DSL is your computer system. Many of these fast internet services are available only on Windows computers. HughesNet offers high speed internet service to both Windows (any version 98SE or later) and Macintosh (MacOS 10.1 or later).
HughesNet is Great for Your Business Too!
Residential customers aren’t the only ones who love all the HughesNet benefits; many small and large businesses use satellite connections as well.
Dedicated business fast internet products like T1 and SDSL are very expensive and yet don’t offer a lot of speed. If you want to stay competitive, you need to control your costs and HughesNet high speed internet access is a cost-effective way to give you the internet speed your organization requires.
Our business high speed internet service products have special features that professionals need such as more email accounts and static IP addresses. Whether you are working from home out of a spare bedroom or have an office with dozens of connections, HughesNet can meet your internet needs.
