HughesNet Satellite

HughesNet comes from the Hughes Communication company, which was acquired by Echostar in 2011. Headquartered in Maryland, and generating over a billion every year in revenue, Hughes manufactures its own equipment here in the United States, and is a prominent leader in telecommunications for both residential and commercial consumers.

Capitalizing on that success and expanding its ability to provide high speed internet access over satellite communications, Hughes launched its own high capacity satellite, the Echostar XVII, in 2012. This allows the company to deliver even faster speeds to all connections. At 15 Mbps, it's faster than many of the other companies that we've reviewed so far.

The company also offers special select services for businesses that include secure remote connections, more e-mail addresses as an add on, and more. HughesNet's Gen4 internet services should have you covered if you're a small company in an area where the only alternative is DSL, and you will find that the overall speed and bandwidth caps available with HughesNet's business plans should be more than enough to suit your needs. If not, additional bandwidth cap extensions are available at prices that will fit within a small business budget.
