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 Hughesnet mobile app. Term implications may apply.
