HughesNet utilizes satellite technology to send & receive the Internet to your
computer, making it available everywhere in the continental United States. While
satellites give you high-speed Internet, the distance between our satellite and
your dish does produce a micro-fraction time delay or ‘latency’ during
transmissions, which may not be perfect for ‘twitch’ games or online trading
that need split-second reactions. So, if you’re a big online gamer or utilizing
a VPN, HughesNet may not be ideal for you.
HughesNet works with your budget. You can choose the up-front Small Office
Option, where you pay $999.98 now, and then $99.99 per month for 24 months.
Maybe you prefer to spread your payments out using the Home User Option. That’s
why we’ve created our $99.99 plan, just for you. Simply pay $99.99 up front, and
then $99.99 per month for the first 15 months. This $99.99 per month covers
installation, equipment cost, and monthly fee, in easy payments. After the 15th
month, your monthly fee will drop down to the regular rate (currently $59.99 per
month).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What operating systems are compatible with the new HughesNet system?
A: The HughesNet modem is operating system agnostic, meaning you can connect your
computer to the Internet whether you are running a Windows- or Macintosh-based
system.
Q: Is HughesNet compatible with my Mac?
A: Yes. Please review our minimum requirements list below for Macintosh systems.
Q: Why is Mac OS 10.0 not supported?
A: Because the Mac OS 10.0 release is not supported by Apple, we do not develop
products around non-supported OS systems. We recommend you upgrade your Mac OS
to 10.1 or higher, which is supported by HughesNet.
Q: What are the necessary computer system requirements for the DW6000?
A: The HughesNet modem (model number DW6000) lets you connect your computer to
the Internet whether you are running a Windows®- or Macintosh®-based system. In
order to ensure you get the most out of your Internet experience, HughesNet has
developed these minimum requirements:
Operating system: PC: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
Mac: 9.0-10.2 (excludes 10.0)
Processor: PC: Pentium II 333 MHz or faster
Mac: 300 MHz or faster
Memory (RAM): PC: 64MB RAM (Windows 98SE and Windows Me); 128MB RAM (Windows
2000 and Windows XP)
Mac: 128MB
Free Hard Drive Space: PC: 100MB
Mac: 150MB
Networking Capability: 10/100 Ethernet pre-equipped (configured for
auto-negotiate)
Q: What if my computer did not come with a Network Interface Card (NIC)? What
can I do?
A: Many computers can be upgraded with a 10/100 Ethernet Network Interface Card
(NIC). If you are comfortable with opening your computer and installing
hardware, most Ethernet NICs can be self-installed. Check with your computer
manufacturer for more information on the right Ethernet NIC for your system.
Make sure your NIC is configured for "auto-negotiate."
Also, if you have an available USB port on your computer, you can purchase a USB
Ethernet adapter. This may be easier to install than a PCI card in your
computer. For a laptop, you can purchase a standard PCMCIA card that provides an
Ethernet connection, or you can purchase a USB Ethernet adapter as well. We
recommend that you upgrade your computer to meet all of the requirements listed
above to get the most out of your Internet experience.
Q: Can I use a PCMCIA card adapter for my laptop?
A: Yes. All you need to connect your computer to the HughesNet modem is either a
10/100 Ethernet Network Interface Card or a PCMCIA adapter with an Ethernet
connector. The HughesNet system includes an Ethernet cable to connect your
computer to the HughesNet modem.
Q: Do I still need a dial-up modem and telephone line?
A: No, there is no phone line requirement for normal operation; therefore, a
modem is not required to use your HughesNet service with the HughesNet DW6000
modem.
Q: What is the difference between the DW6000 modem and the DW4000 modem?
A: The DW6000 is the next-generation HughesNet system modem with a sleek new
design. It makes connecting to the Internet easier by incorporating HughesNet
software inside the DW6000 unit. So there’s no HughesNet software to load on your
computer or upgrades to download. The DW6000 automatically updates itself via
the satellite. Also, the DW6000 modem houses both the transmit and receive
components in one compact unit, unlike the DW4000 that has separate transmit and
receive modems stacked together and linked by a 24-pin serial cord.
It also uses a simple Ethernet connection to connect your computer to your
HughesNet service. Once your satellite dish is installed and connected to the
DW6000, all you need to do is connect your computer by using the provided
Ethernet cable and you're high-speed surfing (see 'Can I run HughesNet on a small
network?' for networking capability requirements).
Q: Is the DW6000 faster than the DW4000?
A: No. Both the DW6000 and the DW4000 modems deliver the same HughesNet
high-speed service experience. The DW6000 modem allows you to connect to
Windows- and Macintosh-based operating systems, has no software to load on your
computer, and makes networking your HughesNet high-speed connection to multiple
home computers easier (see 'Can I run HughesNet on a small network?' for more
information on home networking).
Q: Should I upgrade to the DW6000 from my current DW4000?
A: Upgrading from a DW4000 modem to the next-generation DW6000 modem is a good
idea if you would like to network more than one home computer or laptop to your
HughesNet high-speed connection. By networking more than one computer, your
family will be able to access your HughesNet high-speed Internet connection from
any computer on the network and will not have to wait in line in order to get
online.
Q: Will my DW4000 modem still work now that HughesNet has launched its
next-generation modem?
A: Yes. If you choose not to upgrade your HughesNet modem to the DW6000, your
DW4000 transmit and receive modems will still function and are supported by
HughesNet.
Q: Can I run HughesNet on a small network?
A: Yes, you can connect multiple home computers and laptops to a single HughesNet
Internet connection at no additional cost. Home networking equipment may be
required and is not included with your HughesNet system. For network setup,
support, and configuration, contact your network hardware manufacturer and/or
operating system software developer (HUGHES is not responsible for home network
configuration or management).
Please understand that all computers on this network will be sharing a single
connection. Simultaneous use of high bandwidth applications by multiple users
may result in degradation of speed and is subject to the Fair Access Policy.
Actual speeds may vary. Speed and uninterrupted use of service are not
guaranteed.
Q: Is there a cost difference between the DW6000 and the DW4000?
A: Yes, only for the HughesNet system hardware. The HughesNet system with the
DW6000 modem retails for $599.98 (includes dish, modem and standard
installation), and you pay the regular service monthly rate (currently $59.99
per month).
If you choose the $99/$99 Plan, you will be charged a $99.99 up-front fee, with
a 15-month contract at $99.99 per month (includes dish, modem and standard
installation). At the end of 15 months the monthly fee reverts back to the
regular rate (currently $59.99).
Q: What is HughesNet broadband by satellite?
A: HughesNet is the new solution for everyone who is ready for high-speed
Internet access. HughesNet satellite technology makes high-speed Internet
available to everyone in the 48 contiguous states and Puerto Rico, as long as
you have a clear view of the southern sky.
Q: Is HughesNet a one-way or two-way system?
A: Today’s HughesNet consumer service uses the DW6000 system. The DW6000 system
is a two-way satellite system that allows you to send and receive information
via satellite. So there's no need for the expense of a second phone line or
hassles with logging in when you want to get onto the Internet.
Q: How can I/where can I purchase the HughesNet product?
A: You can order online by clicking here or calling 1-800-434-7451. The
promotion code for this offer is 1003.
Q: If I already have DIRECTV® service, do I need to get a new dish for HughesNet?
A: The HughesNet system requires a unique dish in order to send and receive
information via satellite. You can add the ability to access DIRECTV®
Programming to the HughesNet dish by purchasing a simple DIRECTV upgrade kit. It
is your decision whether to keep your existing DIRECTV dish on your home, or to
utilize the one-dish solution from HughesNet.
Q: How fast is the HughesNet system?
A: The experience with HughesNet high-speed Internet is astonishing. When
comparing typical activities with a dial-up service based on standard dial-up
connection at 28.8Kbps, the difference in the amount of time you'll be waiting
for what you want is night and day. HughesNet speeds are based on download speeds
of up to 500Kbps, but not guaranteed.
You can download software upgrades in just minutes, versus up to an hour.
There's no more waiting for Web pages to fully finish loading; they are
typically done within a couple of seconds. Getting your favorite song can be
done in less than the song's length rather than three times as long.
As you can see this is a huge improvement... and broadband by satellite is the
only high-speed Internet technology that's available everywhere in the
continental U.S.!
Q: How fast is HughesNet compared to other high-speed services? Aren't they
faster?
A: Everyone's Internet technology is based on shared bandwidth, so sometimes one
option will allow you to do things in less time than others. But because
everyone uses shared bandwidth there's truly no definitive answer.
Q: What is transmission latency?
A: Latency refers to the time it takes for signals to travel to and from the
satellite. This typically creates a sub-second lag. For this reason, HughesNet
may not be ideal for playing some "twitch-games" and for time-sensitive "online"
trading.
Q: Why is there a requirement that the HughesNet system be professionally
installed?
A: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that trained
professionals install any two-way satellite system.
Q: Can I put this system on a boat or in an RV?
A: No. The HughesNet system is for fixed installs only.
Q: Can I run HughesNet Professional on a VPN?
A: Running a VPN client over a satellite network is not an ideal configuration.
Although most VPN clients will work, your speeds will be affected significantly.
While average download speeds are slightly better than dial-up, they will be
reduced from typical HughesNet speeds by as much as 50 to 75 percent. Average
upload speeds are comparable to dial-up performance. It is recommended that
those accessing secure information over a VPN via HughesNet Professional do so on
a limited basis. To optimize your performance, simply disable your VPN client
while surfing the Internet, and enjoy the full speed of HughesNet. When you need
to access information from your corporate LAN, you can enable your VPN client,
keeping in mind that you will see a reduction in throughput. At this time,
HUGHES does not endorse or support any VPN products. Customers that run VPN
products do so at their own risk and will not receive any support from HUGHES
regarding troubleshooting, configuring, optimizing, or maintaining a VPN
connection.
Q: Why does the service slow down when used in conjunction with a VPN?
A: Our communication satellite is located over 22,000 miles from Earth. Each
data packet must be sent down separately and acknowledged by the remote site.
This process takes time. In order to expedite the delivery of data packets to
our end-users, HUGHES has developed a patented technology for aggregating those
packets and sending all of them down simultaneously. VPNs encrypt each data
packet, which prevents our technology from aggregating the data packets and
reduces the throughput significantly
