What does ‘unlimited data’ mean?
The new Hughesnet® Service plans feature an allotment of Priority Data (determined by the purchased Service Plan) and unlimited Standard Data. If you consume your monthly Priority Data, you can continue enjoying the Service using unlimited Standard Data until your Priority Data resets. Standard Data is prioritized behind Priority Data. Hence subscribers using Standard Data may experience slower speeds during high traffic periods.
What is the difference between Priority Data and ‘Standard Data’ that’s included in my service plan?
Your Priority Data is always prioritized ahead of Standard Data on the network. You automatically use your Priority Data first, then have an unlimited amount of Standard Data.
If I exceed the amount of Priority data included in my plan, how can I get more?
If your usage exceeds your Priority Data, you have multiple options to get more Priority Data:
- You can purchase Priority Data Tokens. Click here to learn more about Priority Data Tokens.
- You can upgrade your service plan at any time to a plan that offers more Priority Data.
Can I still stream video once I have exceeded the amount of Priority Data included in my plan?
If you have exceeded the amount of Priority Data included in your service plan, you may experience reduced speeds, especially during peak traffic times. This could impact the streaming quality and performance.
