GEN4 FROM HUGHESNET
We all need speed. For this reason, HughesNet has worked for forty years to advance satellite technology. Its Gen4 satellite internet service is one example of the company’s commitment to innovation.
Gen4 is available anywhere in the U.S., as long as your dish has a direct line of sight to the southern sky. It is much faster than competing rural internet services, and it won’t need a phone connection. Several plans are available, with download speeds from 5 megabits per second (5 MB.S) to 15 MB/S.
The data allotments are much more generous than previous generations of satellite internet offered. The basic tier, Prime Plus, allows 10 gigabytes (GB) per month. The premium tier, Ultra, allows a full 50 GB per month. With all Gen4 plans, an additional 50 GB per month is available during off-peak hours: 2:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. If you’re about to bump against your data cap, you can buy an additional allotment, $10.00 for each additional GB.
With Prime Plus, you can open up to five e-mail accounts. With the other three plans, you can open as many as ten.
With each of the plans, you get free standard installation and live technical support.
All HughesNet plans are compatible with Windows or Mac operating systems. Windows users will need Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. HughesNet will also work with Windows 10 soon. Mac users will need OS 10.7 (Lion), OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion), or OS 10.9 (Mavericks).
Your computer will need ethernet network capability. If you wish to get your HughesNet service on a mobile device, you will need a wireless router.
In most cases, you can expect your HughesNet Gen4 internet service to be in operation within two weeks after you place your order. A certified HughesNet technician will call you to confirm your installation date and time.
