HughesNet

HughesNet is a satellite internet service that provides broadband connectivity primarily in rural or remote areas where traditional wired internet options may be limited. It uses satellites to beam internet signals to a dish installed at the customer’s location. This allows users to access the internet for activities like browsing, streaming, and gaming. While HughesNet offers wide coverage, it may have higher latency, meaning slight delays in data transmission, especially compared to cable or fiber options. It's known for its fixed monthly plans and data limits, catering to both residential and small business needs.
