Yes, both Viasat and HughesNet will charge you an early termination fee if you cancel your service before your 24-month contract is up. Viasat early termination fee With Viasat, you’re stuck paying $15 per month for every month remaining on your contract. For example, if you cancelled your service only a month after installation, it would cost you $345 in early termination fees. It’s not cheap. On the other hand, you could get your Viasat satellite internet service with no contract. But it’ll cost you $500 up front. HughesNet early termination fee If you cancel your HughesNet service after installation but before your contract is up, HughesNet can charge you $15 for every month you have left on your contract, up to $400.
