HughesNet has historically been the company with the biggest satellite broadband subscriber base but experts in the industry are predicting (http://satellite.tmcnet.com/topics/satellite/articles/34505-huge-battle-shapes-up-satellite-broadband.htm) that comer-up WildBlue has the potential for 50/50 market share before the end of the year. WildBlue is the fastest-growing satellite broadband provider despite problems with capacity (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/95979) in the past. Announcements that these problems are resolved, rumors that HughesNet may eventually also face capacity problems and WildBlue's ability to offer competitive pricing all contribute to the rapid growth of the WildBlue subscriber base. However, it s notable that HughesNet offers a nominal maximum download speed of 1 Mbps which is significantly faster than the speeds offered by WildBlue so people seeking faster service may still lean in favor of HughesNet.
