And because there is more capacity in the system - there are larger monthly data buckets available. These may seem slow and limited by LTE cellular standards, but for satellite these speeds are very decent. HughesNet launched its 5th generation satellite in December , and revealed in early February some of the details of the upcoming Gen5 "Jupiter 2" service - which is slated to roll out in April This is a huge improvement over older generations - and suddenly makes HughesNet a lot more interesting for RVers.
Gen5 standardizes the speeds to offer a peak of 25Mbps down and 3Mbps up, a substantial improvement that makes HughesNet a lot more competitive with LTE cellular technology. Service will require a new HTW satellite modem , so anyone with older HughesNet service will require new gear.
And do keep in mind - traditionally all HughesNet plans even upgrades from older service generations have required agreeing to a multi-year contract to sign up for a new tier of service. And if you've been contemplating satellite internet service - do not invest in Gen3 or Gen4 service now with Gen5 coming just around the corner! HughesNet has both residential plans offered directly and via residential resellers like MobileInternetSatellite and business plans offered via resellers like RTC.
Current residential Gen4 Jupiter plan pricing as of November The business plans are more expensive, and provide for more usage during the day but less overnight. This isn't just a matter of policy - it is a technical limitation due to satellite internet dishes needing to be professionally set up and aimed, as well as how the satellite divides up the country into hundreds of "spots" that function similar to cell towers - only a lot further off the ground.
Even if you could re-aim a dish that you moved yourself, if you leave the spot beam that your service address is assigned to you will be essentially invisible to the satellite and unable to connect at all. The easiest way to move HughesNet service is working with an authorized HughesNet reseller that is willing to train you how to properly set up the dish on a portable tripod and to aim it yourself. Then whenever you change locations the reseller can call HughesNet's operations center on your behalf to assign you manually to a new service address as if you had moved there and they had performed the "pro" installation for you.
This is only practical to do if you move service just two or three times a year - such as seasonal snowbirds moving between a summer and winter home base. If you want to move your service more frequently than a few times a year, things get complicated. To enable true mobility, your account needs to be specifically configured to be able to automatically change spots. HughesNet it seems will NOT be allowing consumer plans to be enabled for this sort of mobile service.
But certain business-grade plans being resold and supported by partner companies like RTC WILL be able to be mobile-enabled in the system so that they can automatically roam spots as often as desired. Gen3 and Gen4 business plans have been able to be "mobilized", and Gen5 plans will as well.
