DISH is launching its next gen satellite Internet service across the U.S. offering download speeds of up to 10 Mbps. Pricing starts at $39.99 per month (plus equipment fees) for 5 Mbps download/1 Mbps upload speeds and data plans of 10 GB, when bundled with DISH’s popular America’s Top 120 or higher programming packages and with a two-year agreement. A higher speed tier is also available.
The company said 19 million Americans lack access to high-speed Internet, including 14.5 million who live in rural regions, according to figures from the FCC.
“Many unserved and underserved markets are years away from a telco or cable broadband build out, but dishNET is available today,” said Brian McIntyre, vice president of Broadband at DISH. “These services will have powerful, positive impacts for kids, educators, businesses, farmers and families — no matter how far out of town they may choose to live.”
