To cancel, you will need to call 866-347-3292. You may have to pay an early termination fee if you're still under contract. See http://legal.hughesnet.com/ServiceTermsAndConditions-current.cfm
To avoid equipment charges, you will also need to return the equipment (modem, power pack, and the radio from the dish). You will get a kit to return the equipment when you cancel the account.
Thank you for that information. I called the number you show above and was told they where going to draft my account 450.00 for a service they can't consistently provide.
If anyone else has any other helpful information...booster...how to waive the fees considering how new of a customer I am...I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,

It is unlikely they will waive the cancellation fee, at least not without troubleshooting to try to improve the issues. Have you even tried to troubleshoot? You ought to do it here, where you have access to corporate employees. If you're unwilling to do this, your best bet is to pay the early termination fee as stipulated in your contract.

Good Morning,
Thank you for your responses. I have attempted multiple (x15) calls during service outages. The techs while willing to help, have the response of inclement weather they can't change. I ask, what about a credit for no service for 5 consistant days atleast 4 hours a day and they divert to a new topic. Its now aug, and I have spent over 18 hours on hold, being hung up on and being told to pay 450.00 becuase they cant provide me a service. I am infuriated, I haven't had this service for 45 days. According to them I have deal with internet outages constantly or pay 450.00 which is beyond ridiculous!!!!
This week my data reset on Aug 9. I turned my router off for 2 complete days, and put my sons phone on mobile data. With the router turned off I ran out of data in 4 days and downgraded to .5 mbs. including outage for inclement weather with no possible fix from hughes net. my dishnetwork continues to provide service while the hughes modem is black. so not only am I down service during inclement weather but something is eating my data, that is not my devices.
Its only Aug, what is my recourse when the weather changes in South Dakota and it snows or rains for days?
Please help me make this better - Liv
I understand your frustration. We have had the same thing. And it hasn't even been a bad weather day. I do like your idea of turning of service for a few days and seeing if the system uses data. I don't even make it half way through the month before our data gets throttled back. And then I get 5 seconds of show and 10 seconds of loading. We complained but all they will do for us is a little extra data and a credit on our bill. I'm about to be ticked off and cancel to pay the fee and be done with it. Like you said the service techs are nice and try to help...but they can't help the way I would like. which is to get me the service I pay for.
