“HughesNet coverage is ubiquitous across the continental United States, providing connectivity to even remote sites that DSL and cable can’t reach and where T1 lines are too expensive; there is no need to lease costly T1 lines to reach out-of-the-way locations. Secondly, HughesNet is reliable. The always-on connectivity of satellite is not vulnerable to utility pole and line damages, backhoes, and other mishaps that commonly disrupt terrestrial networks,” Hughes said in a company statement.
