Is Hawaiian Telcom worth the cost?

If you’re on the island of Oahu, we think Hawaiian Telcom is a solid choice for TV and internet service. It’s got a good channel selection, speedy internet, and Whole Home DVR service for a competitive price. We think most users should be satisfied.

That said, one thing to keep in mind is the stiff competition for TV service in Hawaii—both DISH and DIRECTV are direct competitors. Both of these services are likely to offer a better TV experience, although you’ll have to get your internet elsewhere.

Want to bundle TV with other services?

If you want to bundle with other services, you’re in luck. Hawaiian Telcom offers fiber internet service up to 1 Gbps, along with home phone. The prices are reasonable—you can get hundreds of channels and 500 Mbps internet for less than $100. In fact, we think this is the way to go if you’re going to get Hawaiian Telcom service.

Savings tip: Services often come highly discounted when you buy them together. Be sure to check
Hawaiian Telcom's bundling options.

Switching to Hawaiian Telcom?

If you’re switching to Hawaiian Telcom, the main thing to be aware of is that TV service is only available on Oahu—none of the other Hawaiian Islands. If you’re getting internet service, your home will also need to be wired for fiber, which may require a bit of installation.

Savings tip: Hawaiian Telcom often has
sign-up promotions
for first-time customers. Call 1-844-716-2785 to ask a rep about current deals and discounts.

Canceling Hawaiian Telcom services?

Canceling Hawaiian Telcom service is pretty simple. There are no contracts or early termination fees. There is one catch, though: when you cancel, you’ll be billed an “equipment return fee” of $200 per set top box or other piece of equipment you’ve rented. This will be refunded if you return the equipment within 45 days. This is really only applicable to internet customers—TV-only consumers wouldn’t have a reason to have a wireless gateway.

Locked into a contract? Call Hawaiian Telcom at 1-844-716-2785 and speak to a rep about available options.
Costs to consider
  • Installation cost: None
  • DVR fee: None
  • Additional equipment fees: $8.99/mo. for each set-top box, $9.99/mo. for each wireless gateway
  • Regional sports fee: $5.43
  • Broadcast fee:$22.89
  • Contract length: None
  • Cancellation fee: None
