| Usage Page FAP calculator (for Firefox)
I've just written a Greasemonkey script that calculates how much remaining download capacity is left, right on the HughesNet usage page.
You need to install Greasemonkey first:
»https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
Here's the link to the script:
»userscripts.org/scripts/show/12779
Once installed, all you need to do is visit the usage page.
You can save the following code in a bookmark (replace XXX with your site-id) to access the current month's usage without typing in your site-id every time:

Can I get a step by step on what to do? I'm a bit confused about the how to save the following code in a bookmark.
Also my FireFox V1.5 will not connect to the net. With "direct connection" I get "Server not found" and with "proxy on- 192.168.0.1 -83" I get "The proxy server is refusing connections" Anyone know whats going on? |

| nice... in fact wow.
Only thing that makes me uneasy is the warning on the site to install the script saying someone has been writing scripts to steal cookies... You best not be touching my cookies!!!! 
but that aside it's freaking awesome, mad props to you.

Click "New Bookmark". In the Location field: paste the code. Replace "XXX" with your site-id. Give the bookmark a name.
You can also put a word like "usage" in the keyword field. Then you can type "usage" in the Location bar and it will go to the usage page.

If you have a DW6000 or higher, the proxy is on port 87 (»Satellite Forum FAQ »What browser proxy settings should I use with the DW6000? ). If you have a DW4000, you can also try port 85 (»Satellite Forum FAQ »Is there anything I can do to improve the performance of the DW4000 proxy server ). The "Server not found" error sounds like a DNS problem. Try again later or with a different domain. |

| I've updated the code to check for valid data. You can reinstall it here (same link as before): »userscripts.org/scripts/show/12779
Or you can try the following:
Option 1:
Visit last month's usage page again. This should clear up any invalid persistent data.
Option 2:
Type "about:config" in the location bar.
Enter "direcpc" in the Filter field.
Right click on each entry and choose "Reset" |

I can't change the download threshold. I click on edit and enter the number, press ok, and nothing. |

recovery rate and bucket aren't right for the small office plan. how are you calculating them? |

33341 | I simply divide the download threshold (bucket) by 24 to get the hourly recovery rate. Click on edit and type in the correct amount, then reload the page. |

Try closing Firefox, that worked for me. |

| Under the new FAP, the refill rate = one bucket/day.
500MB / 24hr = 20.83MB/hr = 46.3kbps
Looking at the usage data posted here (along with my own FAP experiences) confirms this fact:
»[DW7000] One day usage levels...
The first test was done without having been Fapped for a month and no usage in the last 24hrs. Looking carefully at the data, I noticed that there was a gap between 3am-6am in the second data set... the FAP free zone! Recalculating the first data set to include the FAP free zone demonstrates that the recovery rate is about 15.6MB/hr for BOTH tests. Therefore, unless I missed something, these are the new FAP parameters:
Plan Threshold Recovery rate kbps
Home 200MB 8.33MB/hr 18.52
Pro 375MB 15.63MB/hr 34.72
ProPlus 425MB 17.71MB/hr 39.35
SmallOffice 500MB 20.83MB/hr 46.30
Business 1250MB 52.08MB/hr 115.74

| I'm very close to leave Hughesnet, that's why I did not test your software. But your recovery rates are on the conservative side.
It looks like you got the home plan correct. But I posted it before, I have downloaded with 50 kbps recovery rate on pro plan and never got fapped. The threshold is NOT a 24 hour limit. Hughes does not claim that and also (except India tier 1) TS and billing will tell you that.
So you can easy download over 400 MB a day (21 hour) on pro plan for as long as you want and you get not fapped. (but again thats only true when you are not triggering one of the errors in hughes implementation  )

My refill rate is definitly faster than that , Im with c-com and the Inet 200 plan allows a 150 k refill, just looking at the usage page when Ive been fapped confirms this , so I just need to change the factor to divide by but dont know where to do it.

Updated the script to revision 4.
Now you can set the refill/recovery rate as well as the bucket size (download threshold). Also, the changes take effect immediately, no longer requiring you to reload the page. |
