It has been reported by broadband satellite network and service provider Hughes Network Systems that it now has over half a million subscribers to its HughesNet service.

Whilst America is still in discussions with regards to bringing universal broadband access across the United States, one broadband satellite network and service provider in the United States has continued to provide both residential users and smaller businesses with access to higher speed Internet.

The broadband satellite network and service provider Hughes Network Systems has reported that it now has in excess of half a million subscribers from North America to its HughesNet service. Many of the consumers and small businesses that have subscribed to this broadband satellite service are from areas of the United States that are underserved by regular broadband companies and would therefore struggle to get these services without the aid of technology such as broadband satellite.

A senior official from Hughes Network Systems stated: “High-speed access is about more than being able to surf the Internet. For the millions of homes and small businesses lying within areas of North America that are unserved by cable and DSL providers, satellite broadband is what keeps people connected to friends and family and keeps countless small businesses generating revenue.”

He added: “Our latest generation of HughesNet satellite broadband services, powered by our SPACEWAY® 3 satellite, bring significantly increased speed, flexibility, and value to our customers. We are proud to have reached this significant milestone and could not have done it without the hard work of our dealers, installers, and employees. We look forward to continuing to push the envelope, bringing our subscribers even faster speeds and more feature-rich applications in the future.”
