Canceling Your Plan
If you are certain that you no longer need your plan, you can cancel it whenever you please. However, you may need to pay early termination fees. The early termination fee applies to those who cancel their service before the 24-month. You may cancel your plan by contacting the support team. Explain that you would like to cancel your plan and they will help.
You may also need to pay an Unreturned Equipment Fee if you do not return the Modem, Power Brick, and 'Radio.' On your cancelation date, a prepaid return kit will be sent to you.
Early termination
Hughesnet will give you a refund if you cancel your order before installation. If you cancel after activation but before the end of the two-year commitment, you may pay up to $400 in termination fees for the first 90 days after activation. The amount will reduce to $15 per month after that period.
If Hughesnet Terminates Your Plan
Hughes may terminate your plan for issues such as non-payment. If they do, you will immediately be charged for early termination and unreturned equipment fees. $300 will be credited to your account if you return the radio, power supply, and modem.
If you are eligible to return the equipment, Hughes will give you instructions for de-installing and returning them. You do not have to return the cables, mount, or antenna. If you choose to have the entire system de-installed, you are responsible for the applicable fees. You may not receive credit for the charges.
The best way to contact Hughesnet if you need help is on the phone. You will be connected with a support agent who will help you find the help you need. Be polite and patient. You may need to call the customer care agents a few times before getting help.
