HughesNet is one of the two satellite internet services in the U.S. that offer service to rural areas. Cable and fiber providers often don’t reach rural areas, so satellite might be the only internet option for some people.

With satellite internet, you often pay higher prices for slower speeds. HughesNet offers the most affordable satellite internet option and a straightforward pricing structure that makes it easy to choose a plan or purchase additional data. All HughesNet plans offer the same amount of speed. Where they differ is how much data comes with each plan.
