Need 40 gig plan
13 days to go and already have depleted my data. Ugh. Had to do a clean install of Windows, download the updates, download software...argh! Really need a 40 gig plan. Wouldn't help this month,...
For reference, 10GB of token data is $30. Granted, that would create a theoretical 40GB plan at $130 per month rather than $126 (it would likely be $125 by their pricing). Perhaps the advantage of unused token rollover would somewhat make up for the $5 extra cost. It's just a thought.

I never thought of that. Though it doesn't work out as well if you're willing to take the two-year sell-your-soul-to-HughesNet offer. lol
There's just something about paying $30 for a data token that feels price-gougy, even though as you pointed out it works out virtually the same if you aren't on contract. Psycology, huh?
tbh, it would be a better money maker for HughesNet. Guarenteed monthly extra cash when the data might not even be used.
Price gougy is what Verizon Wireless charges for tokens: $15 a GB, vs. HN's $3.

ViaSat's price for extra data is outrageous, as well. I saw someone mention the price one day on their community and I was shocked. Something like $10 per GB.
Edit: For their applicable plans, that is. You can't buy extra for their "unlimited" plans.
That's excessive. Glad HN's price is so reasonable (and don't you guys change it!)
