Rising gas prices have had a noticeable effect on shopping malls, but here to the rescue is Hughes Network Systems, LLC, (HUGHES), a major provider of broadband satellite networks and services. Hughes announced that it has increased the speeds of three of its popular HughesNet® consumer service plans Home, Pro and ProPlus, at the same low prices, giving new subscribers located beyond the reach of DSL or cable an even faster broadband connection. The increased speeds empower consumers to shop and purchase online, saving time and money with rising gas prices. The Home plan now features download speeds of up to 1 Mbps. The Pro and ProPlus plans feature download speeds of up to 1.2 and 1.6 Mbps, respectively. Those living in areas not currently served by terrestrial broadband want to be able to enjoy all the benefits of a broadband connection and they want to do it at high-speed.
The higher-speed Home, Pro and ProPlus join the recently introduced HughesNet Elite and ElitePlus plans, with download speeds of up to 3 Mbps, with pricing set at $59.99 a month, and with the wide range of HughesNet plans now available home businesses and consumers can still be a part of the world without backing out of their driveway. Currently, there are more than 400,000 Hughes subscribers in the United States.
