Are There Hughesnet Data Caps?

Yes and no, but there is unlimited Standard Data with Hughesnet!⁸ In other words, Hughesnet does not put hard limits on the amount of data you can use each month. If you exceed your plan’s Priority Data, you’ll stay connected with unlimited Standard Data. You won’t get cut you off or charged more.

Hughesnet has a range of data packages to suit the needs of every family or individual. These plans provide Priority Data from 100 GB to 200 GB and unlimited Standard Data. No matter what plan you choose, your data will never be cut off. There’s no limit on how much Standard Data you can use. Standard Data speeds may be slower during high-traffic periods.

You also have the option to regain full speeds immediately instead of waiting for the next billing cycle. Hughesnet offers Priority Data Tokens which will add Priority data to your plan and instantly restore your internet speeds to the normal amount for your plan. If you want more Priority Data, you can always purchase a Priority Data Token. They don’t expire and is available as soon as you need it.

Additionally, all customers will have access to what was previously referred to as the Hughesnet Bonus Zone (2am-8am). This allows you to use your internet between 2am to 8am your local time without it eating into your Priority Data! All online activity at this time (between 2am and 8am) doesn’t count against your Priority Data amount. 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.
