First, I would advise that you NOT cut the satellite dish off the roof and push it off into the yard, unless you want to pay for damaged equipment that you will absolutely be responsible for paying. Secondly, I advise you wait for the advice that will be given to you by HughesNet representative. You're certainly free to stop payment, but you're also free to reap the rewards with doing so, like dings to your credit, if that's what you wish.
When you cancel your service a return equipment kit will be sent to you so that you can send back the modem, the power pack for the modem and the radio from the dish. The kit will include instructions for removing the radio from the dish.
Lastly, if your DirecTV receiver is connected to your HughesNet modem it's very likely that this is what's burning through your data so quickly. Connecting a satellite TV receiver to HughesNet is advised against because of this.
The reps are normally on M-F from approximately 8AM to 5PM EST. They should reply within a day or two.
May want to stop trolling and create one post under Tech Support or myAccount and Billing, and explain your issues like a grown up. Calling people names won't get you very far.

Good morning Phadden,
Thank you so much for your patience while your sales call review request was processed. Please check your private messages (PM) in the top right corner of the community page as I've sent you a PM to further address your concerns.
Sounds like you're a bit upset about the service. Fortunately for you, you can just pay the fine for breaking the contract and be on your way to bigger and better things.

The technician who installed my satellite and modem drilled right through my hardwood floor to run the coax for the modom. Who does that.
It's 'modem' and cable/internet companies also do that when there's no other recourse.
Stop lashing out about your not understanding what you bought and your own poor decisions. You're only exposing your own ignorance.

I actually told the tech he could drill a small hole through my floor in the corner to the crawl space for the cable. There is also one in the side of the house to get the cable into the crawl space.
I researched satellite Internet at my local library many years ago to find out what I was getting before actually signing up for it.
Having very bad credit speaks volumes about someone.

The coax has to get into your home somehow, and if there was a problem with going through your floor, like they did with mine, my folks, and probably hundreds of thousands of others, you should have let them know beforehand.
You should have done your research about HughesNet before agreeing to the service.
My DirecTV coax goes through my floor, as well, as does my TV antenna coax.
Good morning Phadden,
Welcome to the community and thank you for posting. We can certainly look into requesting your sales call for review to determine whether the sales rep set the appropriate expectations. I'll post back once I get the results.
Our community members' suggestions are valid, and I would take them into consideration.
Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.
Hi Phadden,
Thank you for your patience while your case is still under review. We'll reach back out to you once we have an update to share.
Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.
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.

BGAL84 has also copied my content. LOL. You should create your own, BGAL.
