HughesNet is also offering up to $25 off your monthly bill for the first 12 months on select plans (except the 15 GB plan). The new HughesNet Fusion plans combine satellite and wireless technologies for a hybrid low-latency approach to internet service. To qualify for the promotional rate, you must sign a two-year contract.

HughesNet is also throwing in a free month of Norton 360 Deluxe (for up to 10 devices) and Express Repair as added sign-on bonuses. Norton 360 Deluxe provides antivirus and security software to protect your computer, while Express Repair Premium ensures you get next-business-day service for any equipment issues.

Typically, acquiring satellite internet is expensive due to installation costs. Fortunately, all HughesNet internet-only plans come with free home installation if you choose to lease your equipment, regardless of your location. For subscribers who purchase their equipment, HughesNet is also offering $100 in instant savings. For customers who lease their equipment, HughesNet is offering $99 in instant savings.

While the satellite internet data caps may seem rather limiting, HughesNet does offer an additional 50 GB of free data usage per month during non-peak hours (2 a.m. – 8 a.m.). Fortunately, HughesNet will not charge you a fee if you go over your data cap, but your download speeds may experience throttling to around 3 Mbps. If you wish to regain your standard speeds after going over your data limit, you can purchase “Data Tokens,” which cost roughly $3 per GB.

HughesNet Internet Fees

HughesNet customers are subject to several fees. However, many of them are avoidable by keeping an eye on your account:

  • Early-termination fee (ETF): HughesNet requires contracts on all plans, which means you could pay up to $400 in ETFs if you stop your service early.
  • Installation fee: Right now, HughesNet is waiving the $99 professional installation fee for new customers that lease their equipment.
  • Equipment lease fee: HughesNet requires a monthly lease fee of $14.99. If you choose to purchase your equipment instead of leasing it, you’ll pay $249.99 ($100 less than the standard cost).

The following table outlines HughesNet’s equipment purchase options:

HughesNet sign-up costs Buy Lease
Equipment Fee (Satellite Antenna and Modem) $249.99 $14.99 per month
Professional Installation $199.99 Free
Lease Setup Fee N/A $99 one-time fee

HughesNet Internet and Voice Bundles

When it comes to bundles, HughesNet offers its home phone Voice of Internet Protocol (VoIP) – HughesNet Voice – with any internet plan. HughesNet Voice is only $9.95 per month (for the first three months) if you sign up for a two-year commitment, and it comes with free equipment. Otherwise, the regular cost is $39.95 per month.

HughesNet Internet Discounts

HughesNet participates in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides up to a $30 monthly discount on internet service for qualifying low-income subscribers. Best of all, it comes with no contract or credit check requirement.

How to Get the Best Deal on HughesNet Internet

Purchasing internet service doesn’t have to be expensive. Follow these steps to get the best deal with HughesNet:

  • Purchase your satellite equipment. While leasing your satellite equipment may seem cheaper at first, it can cost you big time over the years. Buy your equipment directly from HughesNet and own it for life.
  • Pick the contract that matches your situation. Don’t sign up for a three-year contract with HughesNet if you’re unsure about your living situation. Opt for the shorter two-year contract to ensure you don’t get hit by an ETF.
  • Use your data sparingly. With HughesNet, it’s all about the data caps. Get the most out of your service by determining what you do that uses the most data and aim to limit those activities during peak HughesNet hours.
