What is the difference between Data Tokens and Bonus Zone?

Bonus Zone (formerly known as Bonus Bytes)

Your service plan includes high-speed data available in the Bonus Zone, previously known as Bonus Bytes. It is the period of time between 2am-8am local time, when you have access to additional high-speed data, even if you have exceeded the amount of data in your Service Plan. This data is used automatically whenever you use Hughesnet® during the Bonus Zone hours.

One way you can take advantage of the Bonus Zone and save your service plan data is to schedule your software updates to occur during this time!

Data Tokens

If you exceed your service plan data, with or without using the data in the Bonus Zone, you can stay connected at full speeds until the next billing cycle with Data Tokens. Data Tokens give you more service plan data for an additional charge and are billed on your next monthly billing statement. Hughesnet Internet Continuity customers can purchase Data Tokens if they exceed their monthly service plan data. You can purchase Data Tokens through your myhughesnet.com account, or on the myHughesnet (Mobile) App. Data Tokens will be automatically applied when your service plan data has been used.  In addition, Data Tokens never expire, so if you have a remaining Data Token available when your monthly reset occurs, the data will remain in your account until you use it.

What uses data?

Being online uses data, which is typically measured in gigabytes (GB). 1 GB is pretty big; with that much data you can send and receive about a million emails.

What can you do with 1 gigabyte (GB)?

There is a lot you can do with 1 GB of data. You can browse 500 web pages, use social media for an hour, stream audio and radio for 14 hours, to name a few. The amount of data that you will use in your Hughesnet® plan depends on your online activities. See the table below for guidelines.

NOTE: guidelines show approximately how much data is used for each activity on its own. For example, with 10 GB of data, you can stream audio/radio for approximately 5 hours OR stream DVD-quality video for 15 hours OR stream HD-quality video for 5 hours OR browse 5,000 web pages OR browse social media for 30 hours.

How much data do you need?

How do I change or modify my current service plan? 

If you decide that another plan option is best for you, you can change your Hughesnet service plan anytime by logging into your myhughesnet.com account or on the myHughesnet (Mobile) App. Term implications may apply.
