1 – Stated speeds are not guaranteed. Actual upload speed will likely be lower than speed indicated during peak hours. Download speeds may also be temporarily slowed in cases when patterns of system usage exceed the download threshold for an extended period of time. See the HughesNet Fair Access Policy for more information. If you choose to run VPN over satellite, your data speeds may be reduced by as much as 50-75%. Despite the high speeds, time sensitive applications, such as multi-player “twitch” games, are also not recommended over HughesNet.

2 – Download Threshold is the volume of data that can be downloaded continuously before the Fair Access Policy may restrict the download speed.

3 – Recovery Rate is the rate in kilobits per second, at which a service plan recovers the Download Threshold.

4 – Express Repair Basic includes second business day coverage, 8 am – 5 pm, Monday through Friday. $29.95 per onsite repair incident in addition to monthly fee. 30-day vesting period if not ordered at time of initial purchase.

5 – Express Repair Premium includes next business day coverage, 8 am – 5 pm, Monday through Friday. $29.95 per onsite repair incident in addition to monthly fee. 30-day vesting period if not ordered at time of initial purchase.

6 – After the one-year term is complete, the plan will be automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis until cancelled by you or terminated by Hughes.
