Understanding Your Internet Connection

Has it been a while since you've taken an in-depth look at your Internet plan? If you're still humming along on a less-than-modern plan, like low-speed DSL or a dial-up modem, it's likely time for you to get an upgrade. Even if you think you current Internet is fine, you might not be fully aware of what you are missing out on. Here are three reasons why you should inquire about HughesNet Internet plans or another fast service today.

Stream in 4k Ultra HD

Do you frequently watch movies or TV shows on a streaming service? Did you recently upgrade your television as well? Chances are, both your streaming service and your TV are likely capable of outputting a 4K ultra high definition signal. 4K used to be only available through certain high-end services or television screens, but today, the technology is becoming more and more common. That means your movies and TV shows will look better than ever, but only if you have an Internet service that is fast enough to handle a 4K stream. Trying to watch 4K video on a lower connection will likely lead to stuttering and buffering. Keep the party going by upgrading to a 4K-capable speed today.

Your Family is Always Online

Even if you don't need the very best high definition content, you might still be able to benefit if you have multiple family members who are always online. If you and the spouse are watching a stream downstairs while the kids are playing video games online upstairs, that's a lot of bandwidth going out at once and you've probably noticed a bit of buffering or a dropped connection now and then. When you upgrade to a higher speed service, you'll likely also get additional bandwidth capabilities and that should help everyone stay online for as long as they want.

You Want to Start Creating Online Content

Do you fancy yourself a budding Internet star? Or maybe your kids want to upload videos or stream video games for a worldwide audience? If you think someone in your family has a career ahead of them as a video or streaming star, you will need a fast Internet service to accommodate them. When you do a live stream, your ISP's upload servers will be under strain as you broadcast your image and sound out to the world. When you upgrade your Internet service plan, you'll likely receive faster uploading capabilities in addition to the faster download speeds.
