How Do I Switch My Internet Provider to Hughesnet?

You may consider switching your internet provider to Hughesnet if you are looking for high-speed satellite internet. The company offers several attractive internet plans at affordable rates. Additionally, it also offers unlimited data. Hughesnet internet connections are especially beneficial in areas where cable and fiber connections are not very effective.

Thus, if you need better network reliability and faster internet speeds, you may consider applying for the Gen5 internet plan. You can apply for internet through the website or by calling the customer service team through the phone.

Through the Official Website

You can learn all about the different plans the company offers by visiting the official website. You can browse through different internet plan options and other "optional services" the company offers on the website.

Also, get information on how to buy plans, compatibility, services, and customer reviews from the FAQ section on the website. Perform the following steps for switching your internet provider to Hughesnet through the website.

  1. Visit the Hughesnet website and select the "service plans" option on the top left corner of the screen.
  2. Click on the "call now" option, "order online" option, or the "find a local dealer" option.
  3. You may also click on "Optional services" if you need voice services, express repair, or Norton 360 Deluxe services.
  4. Click on the "Order online" or "find a local dealer" option and enter your personal information, including your Zip code, address, city, and state.
  5. Browse through local dealers near you and select the dealer who operates closest to your location.
  6. Select the relevant plan and click on the "Buy Plan" option.
  7. Schedule an installation appointment based on your convenience.
  8. You can learn more about internet plans and buy plans through the phone by clicking on the "call now "option.

You will receive an email confirmation, text confirmation, or confirmation call based on the confirmation option you selected. The confirmation email or text will include details of the plan you chose and the appointment time. You can make immediate corrections if the information is wrong.

Additionally, you also use the information on the website to decide which internet plan is ideal for you. For instance, 20 GB plans may be perfect for you if you do not use the internet extensively. However, if you regularly do data-intensive tasks like gaming, video creating, and editing using the internet, you may choose a plan with a higher data cap.

Through the Phone

Suppose you have trouble applying for plans through the website or need comprehensive information on the application procedure or contract terms. In that case, you may contact the customer service representatives through the phone.

You can gain access to phone numbers and other contact details from the GetHuman directory. The team will ask for details of your preferred internet plan location and information about the day and time for the installation appointment. You can also contact the Hughesnet customer service team via email or live chat.

The customer service team will also help you find a local dealer who offers services near your location. It's critical to analyze the reputation and reliability of the local provider before finalizing the contract. Additionally, the customer service team will help you customize your plan and help you optimize your internet costs.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for HughesNet Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
