HughesNet Gen5 Satellite Internet: What Sets it Apart?

Going for a typical DSL connection that widely utilizes existing copper phone lines to transmit data, is no less than a hassle given the lagging state of affairs that comes with this rather old-school internet tech. So, if you reside in a remote area where you do not have another wired option, HughesNet becomes a rather straightforward and logical choice – one that brings you on par with other types of high-speed internet connections and allows you to do all that online which requires decently high download/upload speeds.

In a rural or suburban setting, satellite internet, is in fact a blessing. The cross section of population residing in regions not yet fully urbanized find it no less than a sport to locate a trusted and reliable internet service provider - one that could present an alternative to the slow DSL speeds and limiting bandwidths, which make even a meager task like browsing a time consuming event. When you choose HughesNet Gen5 Internet, the biggest plus you get alongside its widespread availability, is the consistently high speeds that transform your experience of the internet.

On offer are four variations of internet plans from HughesNet – each brings you the same download/upload speeds however the data allowance varies with every plan thus letting you pick the one that fulfills your needs and fits your pocket the best. The four data tiers offer 10, 20, 30 & 50 GB per month allowance, more than adequate for most small to large regular household consumption.

Yes, you heard it right. HughesNet Internet comes with data caps but don’t worry, these are not hard caps by any means. Even after you have consumed your monthly allowance you will remain connected to the internet at about 1-3 Mbps. Plus, you can conveniently purchase Data Tokens to boost your monthly allowance.

With that said, we must also tell you the provider gives its subscribers an additional 50 GB of data every month with their plan – you can utilize this during the Bonus Zone i.e. between 2 AM and 8 AM. So use the download manager to schedule your downloads and updates, accordingly.

Wait, there’s more!
