Hughesnet has lost 57% of its broadband subscribers (880,000 subs) since @Starlink went live in December 2020. Hughesnet says that “we currently do not have the necessary cash on hand” to pay off debts, leading the company to warn that “substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.” In Q1, Hughes reported a net loss of $7.6 million. Hughesnet reported that its subscribers were at 681,000, down from 1.56 million in Dec 2020, of which about 1.19 million were US customers, including retail and enterprise users. Hughesnet has lost about 100,000 subscribers each year since late 2020. The trend continued in Q1 2026, with the subscriber count decreasing by about 20% year over year from 853,000.

Communications company Viasat has now lost 81% of its fixed broadband subscribers since SpaceX started offering @Starlink services to the public in 2020. Viasat now has 115,000 subscribers in the US – a decrease from 603,000 reported in Sept 2020. In Q2 2026 alone, they lost another 15,000 subs. Viasat plans to start serving users from its next-generation F2 satellite next month, which they say is able to deliver 100+ Mbps download speed, but latency is still expected to be 10-20x worse than Starlink's satellites.
