About HughesNet Satellite Internet in Maryland

HughesNet is one of the nation's leading satellite internet providers, delivering broadband service to customers across Maryland using its advanced Jupiter satellite system in geostationary orbit. Unlike cable or fiber, HughesNet does not require ground-based infrastructure to reach your home. A small satellite dish installed on your property communicates directly with a satellite 22,000 miles above the equator, meaning service is available anywhere in Maryland with a clear view of the southern sky, from Baltimore, Columbia, and Germantown to the most remote corners of the state.

Western Maryland's mountain communities and parts of the Eastern Shore face broadband gaps despite the state's generally urban character. For these communities, HughesNet provides a modern broadband connection that simply cannot be matched by the limited or nonexistent wired options available. Maryland features the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the Appalachian Mountains in the western panhandle, the Atlantic coast, and the Piedmont plateau, and HughesNet's satellite technology overcomes these geographic barriers by beaming internet directly to your home regardless of terrain or distance from urban infrastructure.

Maryland's Garrett and Allegany Counties in the western panhandle, along with farming communities on the Eastern Shore, experience broadband service that lags far behind the Baltimore-Washington corridor. HughesNet serves these communities where mountainous terrain or sparse population makes wired broadband uneconomical.
