Does DISH still have satellite internet?

Not anymore – but… In early 2017 DISH Network’s parent company Echostar re-structured a bunch of its assets and simplified the business. Under Echostar there were two satellite internet options. DishNET from DISH Network and HughesNet from Hughes. It seemed silly for DISH to offer basically the same service as its sister company, HughesNet, so DISH removed its satellite internet options and only offered DSL based internet branded DishNET Wireline. You can still get satellite internet from HughesNet – learn more here.
