Not downloading important information because it takes too long?
Low connection speeds can slow business, impact your ability to receive timely information and keep you from enjoying the full capabilities of an Internet service. But until recently, dial-up was the only option for customers living in rural or remote areas. Now that HughesNet broadband satellite Internet is widely available across with U.S. (all you need is a clear view of the southern sky and electricity), you can't afford not to make the switch.
Consider this: It takes 1.2 minutes to download a .5 MB digital image file using a standard dial-up connection. But with a satellite Internet connection, you can download the same file in 2 seconds! And while a 25 MB software upgrade takes over an hour to download using a dial-up connection, with satellite, it can download in 3 minutes or less!
With broadband speeds‡ and faster downloads than dial-up, it's easy to see why so many people are switching to HughesNet Satellite Internet. Plus, your phone lines will never be interrupted so you can enjoy an always-on connection.
