How fast is the HughesNet System?
The experience with HughesNet high-speed Internet is astonishing. When comparing typical activities with a dial-up service based on standard dial-up connection at 28.8 Kbps, the difference in the amount of time you’ll be waiting for what you want is night and day. You can download software upgrades in just minutes, versus up to an hour. There’s no more waiting for Web pages to fully finish loading; they are typically done within a couple of seconds. Getting your favorite song can be done in less than the song’s length rather than three times as long. Speeds of up to 3,000 Kbps (3 Mbps) are available with a business system. See the Service Plan Comparison Chart for details.
HughesNet Home and Professional service plans provide download speeds up to 500Kbps and up to 50Kbps in the upload direction. It is helpful to understand that all Internet technologies (satellite or land-based) “share” available network bandwidth in one way or another. And as a result it is common to experience speed variations between “busy” times and “quiet” times. Actual upload speeds during busy times will likely be lower than the speed indicated.
HughesNet Home and Professional service plans provide download speeds up to 1000Kbps and upload speeds up to 200Kbps. The HughesNet Small Office and Business Internet service plans provide download speeds up to 2000Kbps and upload speeds up to 500Kbps.
