How fast is HughesNet compared to other high-speed services? Aren they faster?
HughesNet is a high-speed Internet access service that provides comparable performance to other broadband services. As a satellite service, user speed when downloading Web pages, emails, or large data files is outstanding. At the same time, the satellite upload speeds (for sending data) are more appropriate for general Internet use (surfing, chat, email, online shopping, etc.) and not appropriate for higher speed demands of Website hosting, as an example.
