HughesNet Users Revolt Against 24-Hour Caps → Meh

Hearing all these companies setting unreasonably low download caps makes me happy to be with Cox.

No kidding...suddenly a rarely enforced 40GB monthly cap looks like a gift.

I haven't heard any enforcement of this policy by Cox myself. I've had times before & after the policy was announced that I've gone over 500GB down in a month, and Cox didn't say a thing.

"Before April 18, HughesNET customers on the Professional tier could download up to 350MB in a four hour period. They've since been restricted to 375MB over a 24 hour period, after which their connections are throttled to marginally usable status for 24 hours (this used to be 12)"

This sound akin to users on cable loaded nodes. its cheaper to cap than to beef up your network.

I had Cox@Home from 1996-mid 2001 and got 2 letters during that time. But I haven't seen anyone get a letter from Cox since they took over their own service. I also have friends with Cox-OC who are over their caps every month and never hear anything from Cox.
