HughesNet Speed Comparison

High Speed Satellite Internet

Ever just want to check your email, but first you have to dial in…and wait, and log in…and wait? How does the word ‘instant’ sound to you? With HughesNet™ high speed satellite internet, your Internet connection is always-on, so you can enjoy high-speed satellite Internet the moment you sit down at your computer.
Take a look at how HughesNet high speed satellite internet speeds compare with dial-up.



Dial-up service comparison based on standard dial-up connection at 56 Kbps. HughesNet speeds are based on download speeds of up to 1 Mbps for HughesNet Professional service and 700 Kbps for HughesNet Home high speed satellite internet service. Stated speeds not guaranteed.


Actual upload speed will likely be lower than speed indicated during peak hours. Download speeds may also be temporarily slowed in cases when patterns of system usage exceed the download threshold for an extended period of time. See the HughesNet Fair Access Policy for more information. If you choose to run VPN over satellite, your data speeds may be reduced by as much as 50-75%. Despite the high speeds, time sensitive applications, such as multi-player "twitch" games, are also not recommended over HughesNet.
Download Threshold is the volume of data that can be downloaded continuously before the Fair Access Policy may restrict the download speed. Several variables affect this number including speed of download, duration of download, and the plan's Recovery Rate.
Recovery Rate is the speed at which a service plan recovers the Download Threshold.
