We know there are competing systems out there. Some of them are even cheaper than the HughesNet systems. We could tell you some horror stories about equipment failures, and the way customers have been treated when they needed service, but we'd rather give you the top ten positive reasons to choose HughesNet.

10. HughesNet works nationwide, with no spot beam outages or saturation problems.

9. HughesNet provides more service options (6) than the competition.

8. HughesNet's Fair Access Policy (FAP) gives the consumer many, many times more bits per month than the competitors. With the other guys, if a consumer gets FAP'd, they are in the penalty box for the rest of the month. With HughesNet, the FAP is based on a 24 hour period. If junior downloads a bunch of videos and exceeds the FAP you are only slowed down for the rest of the 24 hours. In addition, HughesNet offers a free period from 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM for downloading exceptionally large files like service packs from Microsoft, so they won't count against the FAP.

7. The HughesNet warranty is 24 months. Way better than 1 year parts and 90 days labor.

6. The 'Hughes' name is known worldwide. They are recognized as a technology leader with an outstanding history in satellite communications.

5. HughesNet provides commercial grade service with our .74 m antenna. Let's face it - bigger is better in satellite. Our .74 is less susceptible to outages than the competitor's product.

4. HughesNet has over 800,000 consumer subscribers, and millions of total customers worldwide. Hughes has been at this for over 2 decades - and count many of the largest businesses in the world as clients. Hughes owns their own Network Operations Centers (NOC), build much of their own product, have developed and manage their own network. In fact, they are the largest managed network provider in the world. This is rocket science....and Hughes has some of the world's best rocket scientists. They use 12 different satellites for the HughesNet service in the United States. If there is a problem with one of them, they have backup on other birds. With a re-point consumers can be back up and running very quickly. That's called Peace of Mind.

3. HughesNet systems provide a level of security unmatched in the industry. They use triple DES encryption technology to provide for consumer security.

2. The HughesNet product is 'self-hosting' - meaning that it doesn't rely on loading software on the consumer's computer to make it run. It doesn't rely on the consumer's processor or applications to make it work. That means it will work more often with less problems than the other guy's. The modem doesn't have to navigate all of the software applications the consumer may have loaded on their computer which might interfere with the satellite broadband operation.
