Re: Windows Updates quote:
A guy I know who is stuck with satellite just ran into the FAP limitations. Guess what he was trying to do? Yup download Windows updates. You can't even download a Service Pack without running into issues with the FAP.
On wildblue I've downloaded every single Windows XP and Vista update in the last 2 1/2 years running 3 computers on the same wildblue connection and I'm only at 1/2 of my FAP and have never had an issue. This includes bringing a new vista box online last month and running all the updates since vista was released and also listening to an hour of streaming music a day and buying a couple albums on itunes. I realize wildblue and hughes work differently (a rolling total so low days even out with high days vs. the fap free window and daily reset) and I realize having limitations is more of a pain than having no limitations (fap) but every time I try and use dialup I am thankful it's not my only option.
