HughesNet advertises 700Kbps download speed on their basic residential package. With over 76% signal strength we were only able to achieve 203Kbps average, and that was tested using the Java tool on the HughesNet web site. DSL reports and CNet concur with these results.HughesNet advertises 700Kbps download speed on their basic residential package.

It is common practice for an ISP to oversell bandwidth. We would be satisfied with a result of 600Kbps from the download speed test. Urban broadband providers are performing at over 1400Kbps for half the price of HughesNet.
