HughesNet satellite internet plans

For years, HughesNet® has delivered quality service to homes and businesses in areas with limited or no access to other types of high-speed Internet. HughesNet Gen5 offers faster speeds than before, more data, built-in Wi-Fi to easily connect your wireless devices, and a lot more.

The HughesNet Gen5 plans all meet the FCC's definition of broadband speed -- 25Mbps download, 3Mbps upload. While you can make the case that this baseline qualification as broadband speed doesn't qualify as "fast," it is undoubtedly faster than the DSL plans that might also be available to rural customers.

But what about television services to go with your Internet access? Though HughesNet itself does not offer satellite TV service, you can bundle your services with another satellite television provider that will suit the needs of you and your family.

Is HughesNet fast enough for Netflix? Yup, HughesNet's 15–50 Mbps download speeds are fast enough to stream Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, or whatever streaming service you prefer. Here are the speeds Hulu recommends for streaming: Hulu library (SD and HD): 3 Mbps.

With the introduction of HughesNet Gen5 internet service, you can enjoy even faster speeds, more data, built-in Wi-Fi and more. You can do everything you did with your HughesNet Gen4 plan, but more efficiently.

Every HughesNet plan comes with built-in Wi-Fi, so you can easily connect your wireless devices. And it's all in one! The integrated Wi-Fi modem includes a satellite modem and an advanced Wi-Fi router, so you don't have to deal with the clutter of multiple pieces of equipment.
