What is your upload/download allowance policy (Fair Access Policy)?

To ensure fair internet access for all HughesnetĀ® customers, Hughesnet maintains a special Fair Access Policy that establishes an equitable balance in internet access for all Hughesnet subscribers. Similar to how cell phone providers manage their data plans, all Hughesnet plans come with an allotment of data, that may be downloaded or uploaded within each monthly billing cycle. Subscribers who exceed this amount may experience slower speeds during high-traffic periods until their next billing cycle.

Here are some tips to optimize your data usage:

1. Enable Video Optimizer for optimized streaming experience up to HD quality.

2. Turn OFF devices when not in use

3. Schedule downloads/updates during Bonus Zone
