data token question
Right now I have 164.3 GB data tokens in total that I have been building every month with 25 GB data token sometime more. Is there a limited amount?
Hello Ryan,
Thank you for posting and starting an interesting discussion. To put things to rest, I floated your question to our top tech person and he confirmed that only ~7% of our subscribers are on the 50 GB plan, so there's not much market demand for a higher plan. Not so say we won't ever roll out new plans, but should that be in the works and we're allowed to annouce any new plans, you'll hear about it.

Are you sure the discount was for the whole 24 months? Normally the higher the discount, the shorter the term, and a $50 discount, which is significant, would normally only be for 12 months. If you still have a copy of the offer I'm sure they'd honor it.
BTW, HughesNet does offer Business plans with higher data thresholds, but they can be considerably more expensive. Still, you may want to look into it if you're buying a lot of Data Tokens. Also, don't forget that Data Tokens are non refundable, so if you cancel your service at some point, but still have a lot of unused Tokens, you won't get refunded for them.

I do have a copy on a paper but they hide the 50 dollars credit remaining left (I tried to take a picture of recurring charges but I see that I cannot upload the picture to show it to you on this site. It shows promo service credit status active amount -50.00 cycle start 02-10-2020.) and I can’t find a copy that shows until 01-28-2022 but it did say until 01-28-2022 for 99.99 on My Service Plan (hughesnet.com). I do still have promo service credit but it was 0.00 instead of 50.00 on today invoice.

I don't think so, but keep in mind that if you ever cancel and still have tokens, the tokens have no value, so you don't get any money back.
Thanks for the note. :)
I just wanted to post that I've stopped purchasing data token per month until I only have around 50 GB data token left. Right now is at around 132.9 GB left. I really have purchased about 16 of 25 GB data token and that is 400 GB in total (16 x 75 = 1200 worth) under this 50 GB service data plan since last year in Feburary 2020.
HughesNet does support this. I really wonder why HughesNet does not offer more than 50 GB data service plan for Residential subscribers yet.

System capacity is such that it can't support it, and the only way they can expand capacity is by sending up another bird.
A few people buying and using data tokens on a regular basis doesn't have the same effect on the system as tens of thousands of subscribers taking advantage of a larger data plan.
