Re: so you don't like hns fap?

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.

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.

I'm a local NOAA co-op observer and I frequently keep the doppler radar on screen and sometimes open a new tab with a different view at the same time and I've never ever even come close to being subjected to FAP. That must be some radar display you were viewing to require that much bandwidth.
