HughesNet will cut your download speeds from 25Mbps down to 1 to 3Mbps for the remainder of the month.

However, you can expect severe slowdowns once you hit that monthly data cap. That's a huge relief as you try to plot out your monthly budget. Yes, there are no hard data limits, so you won't be cut off or charged more if you go over your monthly data allowance. While HughesNet touts its 'unlimited data,' that's a bit of a misnomer. No data cap, but data is far from unlimited On top of that, in some regions, Viasat also offers faster plans than HughesNet, including download speeds of up to 100Mbps, which would make its cost per megabit cheaper than HughesNet. However, that Viasat plan also comes with a 60GB data cap, twice as much data as the $50-per-month HughesNet plan allows. With that competitor, you'll need to pay $100 per month to match HughesNet's 25Mbps download speed, and that monthly price will go up to $150 after just three months. In fact, the 2018 Federal Communications Commission report on broadband highlighted that HughesNet did the best among participating providers regarding actual versus advertised speeds, with median speeds that were 150% or higher than the advertised speed.Īs for value, HughesNet is slightly cheaper than its main rival, Viasat. That consistency of service and speed reliability is a huge plus, and it sets HughesNet apart from providers whose speeds might vary from location to location. No matter the data allowance, all HughesNet Gen5 plans offer all customers the same max download speeds.
