For the Third Time, U.S. News Ranks HughesNet
among Best Internet Service Providers Overall
GERMANTOWN, Md., June 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- HughesNet®, the leading satellite
internet service, has been recognized as the Best Rural
Internet Provider of 2022 and Best Satellite Internet Provider of
2022 by U.S. News & World Report 360 Reviews. U.S. News cites
that nationwide availability and customer-friendly service plans
differentiate HughesNet from its competitors. The flagship
high-speed satellite internet service from Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (HUGHES), was previously named the Best Satellite
Internet Provider of 2021 and 2021-22.
"The selection of HughesNet as the Best Rural and Satellite
Internet Provider by U.S. News recognizes our dedication to
providing vital internet connections throughout rural America,"
said Peter Gulla, senior vice
president, Hughes. "We invented satellite internet 25 years ago and
continue improving our service to meet our customers' changing
needs. We're proud to be recognized for our accomplishments."
HughesNet reaches areas that cable and wire-line providers have
largely bypassed, connecting more than a million consumers and
businesses across the Americas. HughesNet introduced new service
plans with fifty percent more data earlier this year to serve
customers better.
Additionally, Hughes is a proud participant in the FCC
Affordable Connectivity Program that helps ensure eligible
households have the high-speed internet they need. "We remain
committed to helping connect new and existing HughesNet customers
facing financial hardships through this essential, federally funded
program," Gulla added.
HughesNet was named a top internet service provider due to being
one of the most widely available internet service providers in the
U.S. and its powerful added features compared to other satellite
ISPs. According to the U.S. News review, HughesNet features,
including its video data saver, usage tracker, and Bonus Zone
offering, are among the benefits that differentiate it from
competitors. HughesNet was also recognized as a preferred service
provider in rural areas due to its presence where other providers
do not operate.
The company's upcoming JUPITER™ 3 ultra-high density satellite
will enable higher-speed service plans of up to 100 Mbps down.
