Dish Network offering Satellite Internet-Revolution starts

DISH, the leader in premium home satellite television entertainment, introduces dishNET

 High-speed broadband internet. Whether you live in the city or the country, in an apartment or a ranch house, dishNET is now available to you in a range of download speeds and data plans.

The new service, available in every DISH marketplace in America, is ideally suited for rural Americans who have typically been underserved by high-speed broadband internet infrastructure and associated products. In fact, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently reported 19 million Americans lack adequate access to high-speed internet, with a full 14.5 million living in rural areas. This is nearly one-quarter of all rural residents.

"With nearly one-in-four rural residents lacking a high-speed connection," said DISH CEO Joseph Clayton, "reaching these underserved markets is vital. Our mission is to provide broadband at an outstanding value with fast speeds and large data plans."

Designed with all types of users in mind, dishNET will not tie up your existing phone line, is a persistent "always on" connection, and works equally well on both Windows and Mac operating systems.

Starting at just $49.99 per month, dishNET offers super-fast download speeds of up to 10Mbps, and a variety of data plans sure to suit your needs. There's also never any equipment to purchase, saving you big money compared to other satellite internet companies.

If you're an existing DISH customer, you can save $10 each month on your dishNET plan as well as getting the $99 installation fee when you bundle all of your DISH and dishNET products on a single invoice.

Qualified DISH plans for bundling include:

• America's Top 120™ or higher
• DishLATINO Clásico or higher
• DISH America or higher

With dishNET you're assured of getting a high-speed data plan sure to fit your typical internet experience.
