HughesNet's most expensive satellite Internet plan is $149.99 per month.
Their equipment is about the same cost as DISH's to rent or buy. Their antennas are about the same size as DISH antennas . . .
For HughesNET
home installs, the standard dish is 0.74 meter (29 inches) and a DISH 1000.2 dish is about 27 inches.
However, for better satellite reception people often upgrade to a bigger dish (.90 or -.98 meter) and now there are serious size differences . . .
