NEW ILLINOIS FARM BUREAU DISCOUNTS
HIGH-SPEED INTERNET SERVICE
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 calling HughesNet directly at 1-866-556-9661.
