RURAL VS URBAN BROADBAND<\/h1>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

Why Are You Left with So Few Choices?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

People who live in densely populated urban areas usually have several options for high speed internet. In most cases, these will be cable or fiber-optic connections.<\/p>\n

But what are your choices if you live in a rural area? You’re short of practical options there. Cable and fiber systems almost never build their networks far beyond their urban cores. You can find DSL almost everywhere, but it’s usually far too slow to be called genuine broadband. It’s unlikely to be fast enough for video streaming or for most business functions. You can get satellite internet service almost anywhere in the continental U.S., but it’s often even slower than DSL.<\/p>\n

The Best Option<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you reside in a rural or exurban area, your best option is almost always going to be HughesNet. It is a satellite network, but very different from the others. HughesNet upgrades its satellite fleet almost constantly, which expands capacity and increases data speeds. The FCC<\/a><\/span>, in fact, lists HughesNet as the only satellite system that consistently delivers broadband speeds.<\/p>\n

HughesNet has also been independently rated first among broadband providers for consistency in reaching advertised speeds. This is a first-place rating among ALL broadband providers, including cable and fiber systems.<\/p>\n

If you’re a new customer, you can get 10 GB of data per month for $49.99, and 50 GB for just $99.99 per month for the first year. The latter rate reflects a $30.00 discount for the first year. In the thirteenth month, the 50 GB tier will be priced at the standard rate.<\/p>\n

Data Plan Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With all HughesNet service plans, you’ll find the following features:<\/p>\n
