| so you don't like hns fap? you for sure dont want to be a heavy user of wildblue
as relayed to us:
Dear Valued WildBlue Customer,
WildBlue will implement a change in its Fair Access Policy, or "FAP."
WildBlue will post this policy on July 1, and it will become effective on
August 1.
Most customers are not in danger of violating the Fair Access Policy.
WildBlue has documented that a small number of subscribers "account for a
disproportionate share of the data usage on the WildBlue network." The Fair
Access Policy ensures that all have equitable access to the network.
The revised policy does not change the amount of data a subscriber may
upload or download during a rolling 30-day period.
Among the changes: when a subscriber has used 80 percent of the usage
threshold for the service level, that subscriber will be notified of a
violation of the FAP. WildBlue will slow speeds for that account until usage
returns to 70 percent of the usage threshold.
The most significant change in the policy is that WildBlue has adopted a "no
termination" stance regarding subscriber accounts that continually violate
the Fair Access Policy. Instead of terminating the customer agreement,
subscriber accounts that violate the policy for four consecutive months will
have speeds slowed and access limited to Web browsing and e-mail. For these
accounts, speeds and access will return to standard when usage returns to 70
percent of the package usage threshold. However, in some cases of continued
FAP violation, WildBlue reserves the right to terminate a subscriber's
customer agreement.
If you have questions about your usage threshold, please visit
[url]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We encourage you to review the policy when it is posted on July 1. On that
date, the policy will be posted to WildBlue's Legal page at

| Re: so you don't like hns fap? wow... we'll advertise and give you a number then bust you when you hit 80% of that number. Sounds pretty shady.
People an say what they will about the Hughes FAP, but I haven't been hit with it for a long time and have downloaded more than ever due to the FAP free time.

With modem & cpu turned off HN customers are getting FAP'd.

| Re: so you don't like hns fap? said by processauto :what struck me, and no one else has commented on, is their statement that repeated FAP violators may have thier service terminated. You beat me to it. I was busy trying to C&P my last months usage data into Excel, to see how much I used last month. (Not an easy task.)
1278.27 down last month.
WB Value pak allows 2300up and 7500 down?
Less than 1300 in the down direction and Hughes took 24 hours away from me with their FAP policy. Also, it appears with WB, one can use their system at around dial up speeds when fapped, the bucket refills while fapped and perhaps better yet, it looks like they attempt to warn you (via E-mail?)and if one does not heed the warnings (repeated abusers) they take harsher measures. Sounds more friendly and/or reasonable to me.
I only used 1278mb down last month and was crippled (FAPPED)at a potentially dangerous weather period. (Dangerous enough that I was keeping a close eye on it.)
I'm only complaining about Hughes fap, as there are no warnings, there's no way I DL 171mb of data while my system was down 75% of that hour as Hughes says and the sytem was worthless for the next 24 hours.
Sorry if I misstated anything. Anyone, please correct me if I errored in my conclusions.

| I guess this isnt happening to everyone because when I unplug my modem and figure in the time zone difference on the usage page it shows ) usage for the entire time my modem was unplugged. I have tried it for a week straight now and is the same every night.
And he is right, give wildblue a try and if you do fap you can stay that way for 2 weeks or more depending on how long it took you to fap out in that month. I will give wildblue credit though, I never fapped on them but from what I read and heard your connection is still usable for the most part as long as you dont upload anything or visit and secure sites. I think the fapped speed is like 128k down and I have no idea of the up speed.

| Nope, you are right on with everything except that with wildblue FAP they dont have a recovery rate as in a constant rate that you bucket refills. With them what you used exactly to the minute thirty days ago is coming off of your months usage at the same time that what you are doing now is adding to it, so if you FAP out you will stay that way untill enough has come off from 30 days ago to bring you back below your FAP limit. Theoreticly this can keep you fapped for 2 weeks or more and being fapped for 3 days to a week is common with them. They do however have a much higher download threshold so hitting the FAP is a little less common for them and yes you can still surf at FAP speeds or you could when I had it but any secure sights and a few others will time out every time because of Wildblue's set latency and the slower speeds combined.

| Re: so you don't like hns fap? I'm not suggesting I'd switch to WB or have any idea on what issues are on the othe rside of the fence. But seeing I was fapped trying to update a small doplar radar screen AND for my last month, I only used 17% of WB 30 day fap limit, if it were not for the cost of install and another satellite contract, I'd dump Hughes right now. What they did is unreasonable. At least let our little buckets refill, so we can regain use of our system. If I repeatedly did such, then throw me in the 24 hour penalty box.
My monthly usage last month with Hughes was less than what WB allocates for their upload limit. Not to mention WB 7500 downward.
Beside, I never used that 171 mb Hughes says I did.

That must be some radar display you were viewing to require that much bandwidth.

| I know how this is going to go over but if it were me I would just stick it out a while. There are threads concerning phantom and duplicate downloads on all the Hughes subject forums I watch so it wont be long and they will have it fixed. Also someone pointed out somewhere that you would be well advised to report your problem to the BBB. That seems to get their attention faster than about anything and if anyone is in fact having this problem and reports them then they will have no choice but to confront the situation.
I personally think usage monitering bugs aside that the new FAP is the greatest thing they have done in several years if they just get forced to stop the phantom download problem.

HN usage log reports for a site id (customer) has no reason to be in consistent error. In short there is no reason for them to be screwing with accounting.
The problems should have been resolved instantly instead of utilizing the errors as a means for financial gain.
HN is one of the largest internet satellite providers, they claim a customer base of 350,000+.
Can you imagine how much bandwidth HN has_not_had_to_pay by putting customers into FAP mode & how many customers have been short changed for no access to bandwidth they paid for????

| Re: so you don't like hns fap? LOL, I just love it when peeps say hughes is doing this to make money. If you have a 15 meg cable connection and only happen to use half your alloted cable connection in a month do you only pay half your bill? I am telling you it would not matter if every single person on their system was Fapped out, the cost would be the same and it does nothing but hurt them. Like I said before, if you have a legitamate complaint take it to the BBB and with enough reports, hughes will be forced to take notice and fix the problem.
As far as there being no reason for them to screw with the usage logs, well would you rather they left it alone and have all of the free time added to your FAP bucket? This had to be fixed and I am not saying this is the problem, only GOD and Hughes knows what the problem is and maybe only GOD but I do know it only takes one bad string of code to mess up alot more than you bagained for and going back and finding that one peice of code is like finding a needle in a haystack only put in computer terms that haystack can sometimes be the size of a skyscraper.
With that said I totally agree that what is happening is not fair and it needs to be fixed but jumping in here and flaming peeps when they try to explain what may be happening is not going to get anything done but running knowledgeable peeps off from these forums so that peeps that have repairable problems are not finding help in here any more. There are a million reasons this could be happening half of which could be on the consumer end of things in some cases and being a buissness person myself I really doubt Hughes would risk losing more peeps to wildblue and the EVDO and fixed wireless world to just screw with you. Sooner or later they will get it fixed.

said by zeddlar :... Hughes would risk losing more peeps to wildblue and the EVDO and fixed wireless world to just screw with you. IMHO the higher ups at Hughes don't know what is going on. I just think the workers at Hughes consumer grade devisions don't care (anymore). Hughes has a history of bad customer relationship, why should they do better with their low level workers?
And yes BBB works ....
..and something that worked great with one of my problems. When you can get a credit from billing department the problem gets fixed fast. over two weeks contacting every tier of support did not help, a lousy $20 credit has fixed it in 2 hours.
And KP, that problem I had was with speed. Maybe you should try to find the problem with Hughes first. The 24 hour fap did not correct speed. Also thank you to call me a moron, but there are people that bought bandwidth to use during the day. It' is great that you think your way is the only correct way to use the internet and all others are morons.
And second your head must be already in the sand, else you would have noticed that more then 1% have a real problem with hughes.

2 edits | Re: so you don't like hns fap? So let's compare WB and Hughes FAP.
At Hughes, with me CE plan, I get fapped at 200mb in any 24 hour period. Excede the 200mb in that 24 hour period and we can not use our internet for the next 24 hours.
24 hours x 30 days , I believe equals 6000mb for 30 days. 6000 mb combined, both up and down in 30 days.
And by the way, the freebee hours in the we hours of the morning (IMHO), probably has no bearing on (possibly) the majority of Hughes customers. I suspect it may mostly appease those that may have normally bogged down normal usage hours, with repeated huge D/Ls.
If I read WB fap policy right, the basic plan gives you 2300mb up and 7500 down. 9800mb for 30 days.
HN 6000mb
WB 9800mb
If I assume one does not uses his internet for 24 hours per day.
HN 2400 per 12 hour day.
WB 326 per 12 hour day.
HN 1200 per 6 hour day.
WB 326 per 6 hour day.
HN looks better at this point.
HN 200 per 1 hour day.
WB 326 per 1 hour day.

I just grabbed one of our average days from my last 30 usage page. 10.31 down, 7.89 up. 18.2mb total.
So, If we do our average daily usage at let's say 30mb/day, for 25 days in that month, we'd use 750 of our 9800 allowance with WB. This leaves us 9050mb to use wildly for 5 days of that 30 day period. If I take that 9050 and use it as I please, every other day, I believe every other day, I could squander 602mb. If I only squandered my spare MB once a week, I might have a blast evrey Saturday night with 2262.5mb.
Now that's all silly. My gripe with HNS is, I'm an average user of my HSN system. Likely a below average user of the bandwidth I'm paying for. Hughes' new fap system does nothing to take into account whether we are the cause of their limited/over sold bandwidth or not. No warnings or no considerations at all. I busted their 200mb limit and had to give up my expensive internet for 24 hours. (Besides that, there's no way I D/L that 171mb in that one hour last week.)In the mean time, they give wide open usage to large file downloaders EVERYDAY. Make concessions for those that D/L a lot of data (EVERYDAY?) and take away from the average user, whom MIGHT need their system once.
If I had WB, as I see it, I could never fap out. My last month usage with HNS (perhaps average for many HSN customers)was only 17% of what WB gives for a monthly allownace.

| I will likely post here, even after I leave HNS. (For real broadband, if/when it comes available. I still contribute to a Subaru message board and have not had a Sube for 4 years. They don't seem to mind.)
I will/would not sink in another $200-600 for install of yet another satellite ISP and yet another year+ contract.
This post was an attempt to compare one UFAP to another UFAP. From what I gather, WB FAP would be better for the average user than what HSN now has.
With HNS, it appears I used 23% of their allowance last month and I was FAPPED when I needed their service the most. At WB, my usage last month would have been aprox 17% of their allowance and it appears most likely, I could not be FAPPED at current/average monthly usage. With WB, in any one hour, if it were possible, I could have done a 7500mb D/L and still not have been fapped.
Wasn't this topic about not liking HNS FAP? So I compared... What's wrong with that?

LMAO they are not all going to get together in a pow wow once a month and draw 200 names out of a hat and say well we dont want to pay for these peeps bandwidth so lets just put the screws to em this month. They will alot so much bandwidth and likely by the year and not the month to more than cover their customer base and it will be relativly a constant amout from 1 period to the next unless they experiance a spike or large fall in customers. The bandwidth can be purchased by the month and even by the week actually but most companies I have heard of purchase it by the year or draw a several year contract in the case of more predictable markets.

| Re: so you don't like hns fap? I'm not part of the conspiracy theorist group that thinks HN is FAP'ing random people. I'm just saying that it does lower costs by quite a bit. I know a few datacenter owners that pay by the 95th percentile bandwidth usage.
I will say that with the new FAP, HughesNet wouldn't be the best choice if every other aspect of the service was the same except for the FAP. Many home customers will use most of their bandwidth just on the weekend, while they forfeit the 200MB/day they didn't use in the week. Two days of usage and getting FAP'ed for under 1GB of data wouldn't be a great deal to me.
I agree there are a lot of people here who don't contribute anything, but come here just to say if you don't like the service your opinion has no merit. There's also those that come here just to flame the service, while they may or may not have ever even used it. I try to keep my posts here informative and to the point.
I'm no longer a HughesNet user, but I have quite a bit of experience with them and think some of my knowledge may be helpful. I may not agree with all of the company's practices, but I try not to punish the users who need help for the poor business practices exhibited by HughesNet. I'd probably be better off in the networking forum, seeing as that's what I do.

If you have a 15 meg cable connection and only happen to use half your allotted cable connection in a month do you only pay half your bill? . . . . To the best of my knowledge satellite transponders are commonly leased by time, (hour, week, month, year, etc.) not by bandwidth. While the data carried may be digital, the satellite transponder is an analog radio device and could care less how many bits it carrying at any one time. All it sees is a modulated carrier.
I would think that Hughes is no different than the broadcast industry where satellite time is rented or leased by intervals of time. It may well be that cable bandwidth is sold differently.
Like most of us here, I'm on this forum to learn too, so I'm open to other input.

| The thing you forget is that cable is less than half the cost. My cable modem registered 5000 megs over the past seven days, which amounts to about 700 megs per day for less than $40 a month and no FAP to worry about. Also, cable delivers extreme speeds (mine is one of the slower ones at 5000/256) compared to satellite. The only problem is cable, like DSL isn't everywhere. | |

I'm sorry to say I have no sympathy for anyone who thinks they are being screwed.
I hated the service until the FAP-free time was put in back in April. Before the 24 hour FAP the service 24/7 was too freaking slow all the time. I really don't cry for the newbs who are more or less saying "my connection is so fast I FAP out!". I remember the days not so long ago when you couldn't even get close to the FAP no matter how hard you tried.
After the 24 hour FAP was implemented I felt it was way too harsh a punishment, but hey at least the service was usable for the first time. With he FAP free time as long as you are not a moron, bottom line is you can download what you want.
All of the people with phantom downloads I would bet that 99% of them can be explained by either unsecured connections (I once FAPed a neighbor a mile up the road on accident, ranted on this forum then discovered I was somehow magically on his network) or ad/mal/virus whatever of some sort or another.
I suppose I feel for you if you really are in the 1% that may have some sort of actual issue. My connection has been perfect for 4 months so I'm just going to stick my head into the sand.
With all that said, I would give my left nut for an alternative, but since its not here I'm done crying or reading about others crying. Anything regarding the FAP I'm never reading/responding again.
Wheww i feel better for some reason. Sorry to those my post hits the wrong way, but after a few too many beers and reading nothing but "I hate the FAP" posts for months I'm done, go back to dial-up and leave the forum to actual technical problems. peace out

| I too am going to say only one last thing. The FAP is a mess, granted. For those who have no other options, it's a catch 22. Lots of people cannot afford to spend that sort of money on service that is inferior to even the most primitive broadband, but many cannot afford to be without some sort of Internet that offers better speed than dial up. These are the people hit the hardest.
For those, however, who can afford to flush their money down the drain, I'm going into the plumbing business and I want to be your plumber. | |
