Compare Satellite Internet Plans

Internet delivered via satellite — available virtually anywhere in the contiguous U.S., including remote rural areas with no cable, fiber, or cellular coverage.

Satellite internet is the broadband option of last resort for homes in areas with no cable, fiber, DSL, or fixed-wireless coverage. HughesNet uses geostationary satellites to deliver service across all 50 states. Speeds range from 25 Mbps to 100 Mbps depending on plan, with data caps on most tiers. Latency is higher than wired options due to the distance the signal travels to orbit and back — typically 600ms or more — which affects real-time gaming and video calls. Most satellite plans require a 24-month contract and include equipment fees. If you are in an area with fixed wireless coverage, that is generally a better first option.
