Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between satellite Internet and cable Internet?

Cable Internet uses the cable television infrastructure so service is only available where cables have already been laid. Cable Internet is available in all large cities but might not be available in rural areas. This is where satellite Internet is beneficial as it is available nearly everywhere.

What equipment is needed for satellite Internet with HughesNet?

A satellite modem with power supply, a satellite dish (antenna), radio, mounting brackets and two 100 feet coaxial cables will be provided for you with standard installation. Also, the dish needs to have a clear view of the southern sky. Installation will take approximately four hours.

What is the difference between satellite Internet and DSL?

Satellite Internet can be delivered to rural areas. As its name implies, a satellite is required to receive service. DSL is short for Digital Subscriber Line and requires a phone landline and modem for connection.

What is satellite Internet?

A satellite Internet connection is sent from and arrives at a computer through a satellite. Usually, both the downstream and upload speeds are significantly faster. Although service is usually more expensive, this is a great option for those in rural areas who are looking for high-speed Internet.
