Re: Anyone else thinking WildBlue? The point is that Wild Blue's FAP is usable and flexible for respectful users.
Large downloads can be undertaken to fit YOUR schedule, not Hughes'.
Reasonable management can easily avoid being FAPped for everyone except those with insatiable appetites who are trying to milk every last drop from the system. This means the penalty is a lot less of a concern.
Hughes new FAP is annoying and inconvenient. It causes you to re-shape your life around downloads. Their limit is now unworkably low for many of us. Their refusal to cleanly and openly communicate rubs salt into the wound.
Wild Blue is now miles ahead for responsible users. |

| Hindsight is 20/20 but when I bought my system I figured to go with who was in the business the longest. You'd think 10 years the company would have grown invested in better technology increased throughput for everybody maybe kept with internet trends. Boy was I wrong it's sad that we even have a fap bucket in this day in age on any service.

| If HughesNet was smart they'd add an option for 10 or 20 bucks added a month to your bill to allow you to have monthly allowance of FAP and not daily. |
