    If you aren't seeing them in your "Token Bytes Available" on your Status Meter (like in picture below), you may need to sign in to http://my.hughesnet.com/myaccount , go into the Usage section, then click on "Buy Tokens" under your Usage graphs.  There, you should see either some free ones or prepaid ones.  You click "Use" and it will add them to your "Token Bytes Available" bucket.  Once there, they will be used just like Anytime Data (during the 2AM to 8AM period your Bonus Bytes will be used, though).  The Token Bytes are only used when you have run out of data that would normally be used during that specific time frame (like Anytime Data normally being used now (10:27PM EST)).

Your right I exceeded my data allotments.  Not sure how that happened.  I don't see any bonus tokens though to test my speed.

    I’ve purchased token bites and it’s stikk not showing. It just shows pending and it’s so slow here at my home that I can barley get in here to find solutions. The customer service I received while at work trying to resolve this issue was the worst.
