My Hughesnet service is still under warranty – why would I want Hughesnet Express Repair?
Under warranty, you have priority access to 24×7 technical phone support, as well as onsite support as needed. While most problems are resolved with a simple phone call, it may take up to 7–10 days for a certified technician to visit your home or business to restore service, under the warranty. With Express Repair, if a visit is deemed necessary to restore your service, then a technician will be onsite by 5:00pm the next business day with Express Repair – Premium; with Express Repair – Basic, you will be contacted by the technician by 12:00pm the next business day to schedule an appointment. Service may be delivered as soon as that day or at the next earliest convenience of the member.
How will Express Repair be billed?
The monthly service fee for Express Repair will be billed to you as your Hughesnet service is billed (on credit/debit card or via invoice, whichever method you have selected). The co-pay will be billed by that same means if a service visit is requested.
