The Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) and Hughes Network Systems, LLC, have signed an agreement to offer HughesNet High Speed Internet Service at a special rate to Farm Bureau members. The service will provide IFB members in rural areas a workable solution to upgrade from slow, dial-up internet access.IFB members will be eligible to receive a 10-percent discount on the cost of a HughesNet monthly service plan. HughesNet provides three levels of service packages for internet access.
“HughesNet provides its service via satellite receiver, rather than a slow dial-up phone line or cable DSL,” said Illinois Farm Bureau Membership Director Melissa Rhode. “This is a valuable tool for farmers and rural families who don’t always have access to high-speed internet, because with HughesNet, you can get a high-speed signal anywhere. We’re excited to be able to add this member benefit,” Rhode added.
Members can sign up for the service and get the discount by visiting the White County Farm Bureau office, or they can call HughesNet directly at 1-866-556-9661.
