It depends on your service provider (MotoSAT resells internet services from multiple providers). If you have HughesNet service, you can suspend for up to six months. There is a $50 fee upon suspension of your HughesNet internet service (no fee to reactivate). If you have a LinkStar modem with Broadsky Networks service, you can suspend for up to 5 months for a fee of $150.00. Our iDirect providers do not offer service suspension.

We offer month-to-month (no contract) service for some of our internet service packages. Month-to-month services cost more than our contract services. For details please contact us.

Do you offer internet service on a daily or hourly basis?

No. We do offer some services for emergency responders designed for limited usage, but montly fees still apply. Please contact us for details.

I used to get a discount for paying yearly or quarterly. What happened?

We discontinued yearly and quarterly discounts for HughesNet service in January 2009. You may switch your yearly or quarterly billing to monthly billing if desired..

I never signed anything - is my service under contract?

There are some month-to-month exceptions, but all service providers have contract terms ranging from 12 to 18 months. Early termination fees apply. Some providers require 30 days advanced notice for cancellation. Internet service must be ordered through our website and contract terms are clearly spelled out and available for download in PDF format when ordering service. The customer, or the installer on the customer's behalf, must agree to the terms upon submission of the internet service order. In the case of the installer ordering service for their customer, they must provide their dealer account name and indicate that they are ordering service on the customer's behalf. Our dealers are required to make customers aware of the term agreements, otherwise they may be responsible for cancellation fees. MotoSAT must pay cancellation fees to our providers, and we must pass this cost along to our customers if they terminate service early.
