Spaceway3 Has Increased Speeds

August 1, 2008

All the baseline speeds have incresed on all the HughesNet Plans as of July 1st, 08. For instance the  HughesNet Home Plan usedto be 700Kbps down, but now its 1000Kbps down and the good news is the price did not increase.

At the upper tier plans you can get up to 3000Kbps down.

This will be a tough one for wildblue with their base plan onlu coming in at 512Kbps down.

Spaceway 3 HughesNet

May 3, 2008

Look to June 08 for the new HughesNet ka band platform to be rolled out to the consumer. For obvious reasons there is not a lot of detail available yet how this will competitively effect current pricing. It would be reasonable to assume that it will be more cost competitive.
