How Satellite Internet Access Works
- HughesNet® delivers high-speed Internet access over satellite – not over your telephone line – so you can talk on the phone and surf the Web at the same time.
- After you select the right high-speed Internet plan, a certified HughesNet installer will connect your computer to a satellite modem and link the modem to a satellite dish (antenna). The installer provides the satellite modem and the satellite dish.
- Once installed, the satellite dish sends and receives information (i.e., email, Web pages, files) over the Internet and delivers it to your computer through your satellite modem, giving you secure and fast high-speed Internet access.
- If you have a question regarding your Internet access, contact Customer Care any time.

When you place your order today, your name will be provided to a certified HughesNet® installer, who will contact you within 3 days. You and the installer will then work out a mutually agreeable date and time for your installation. If less than 2 weeks is too soon for you, just place your order when you're ready for HughesNet high-speed Internet service!
- If I already have DIRECTV or DISH network service, do I need to get a new dish for HughesNet?
Yes, the HughesNet® system requires a unique dish in order to send and receive information via satellite. You cannot use your DIRECTV or DISH network dish for HughesNet high-speed Internet service.
