HughesNet provider overview
At Allconnect, we work to present quality information with editorial integrity. While this page may contain offers from our partners, our opinions are our own. Here’s how we make money.
HughesNet offers reliable home services fueled by high-performance satellite technology. Choose from four Gen5 internet plans with a wide range of data limits and home phone service with the premium calling features you need.
What we like
Availability in rural areas – HughesNet is available throughout all 50 states, making it one of the most widely-available internet service providers.
Internet speed – All HughesNet plans come with 25 Mbps download speeds. That’s enough speed for browsing the web, streaming video and doing what you love online.
Phone service – Add phone to your HughesNet bundle for a discounted price. You can even keep your existing phone number when you switch.
Things to consider
Two-year contract – HughesNet requires a two-year service agreement, and changing or canceling service before it’s up can result in early termination fees.
Pricing – HughesNet plans start higher than most internet provider’s lowest-tiered plans. However, all plans come with free standard installation and 50GB of Bonus Zone data per month.
Customer satisfaction – Customer satisfaction research sites such as American Customer Satisfaction Index and J. D. Power do not list customer satisfaction rankings for HughesNet.

HughesNet FAQs
Does HughesNet satellite internet have unlimited data?
Yes. Although each HughesNet internet plan includes a set data allotment, if you go over, you can still use your internet connection at reduced speeds (typically 1-3 Mbps).
Does HughesNet require a contract?
Yes. HughesNet home services require a 24-month contract agreement upon purchase. Early termination fees will apply if you cancel service before your contract expires.
Can I use HughesNet Bonus Zone if I’ve exceeded by data limit?
Yes. During Bonus Zone (2 a.m. – 8 a.m.), your connection speeds will increase to 25 Mbps and an additional 50 GB of data.
Does HughesNet internet and TV work in bad weather?
Because HughesNet utilizes satellite technology, your service may be subject to weather-related disruptions. Your internet or TV service should improve once the weather clears. If you’re still experiencing issues with your service, check your speeds to see how your signal is performing.
