Are There HughesNet Data Caps?

There are no hard data caps with HughesNet! In other words, HughesNet does not put hard limits on the amount of data you can use each month. You can enjoy Unlimited Data with No Hard Data Limits. If you exceed your plan data, stay connected at reduced speeds, typically 1-3 Mbps.²

Every HughesNet plan includes a set amount of data each month that will provide fast 25 Mbps¹ speeds. Better yet, your Internet won’t be cut off and you won’t be charged extra fees if you happen to exceed this plan data. If you reach your data allowance, you can continue using the Internet at slightly reduced speeds for all the great activities you love. The reduced speeds of 3 Mbps are more than adequate for many Internet activities. For example, you can continue to stream movies, use e-mail and social media, browse the web, and hop into a video chat without a problem.

You also have the option to regain full speeds immediately instead of waiting for the next billing cycle. HughesNet offers Data Tokens which will add data to your plan and instantly restore your Internet speeds to 25 Mbps.¹

HughesNet has a range of data packages to suit the needs of every family or individual. These plans provide from 10 GB to 50 GB of monthly plan data at 25 Mbps¹ speeds. No matter what plan you choose, your data will never be cut off.

Additionally, all customers will have access to the HughesNet Bonus Zone (2am-8am). This allows you to tap into 50 GB/month of extra plan data! All you have to do is use the Internet during off-peak hours, between 2 am and 8 am. We recommend scheduling large downloads of software, movies, games, or system updates for your computer during this time.
