Not a real big surprise, but until Jan 8th 2008, I did not have this problem. This is clearly a case of limiting bandwidth on Hughes Net's part. They have overloaded the system.....I wouldn't really mind so much if they didnt LIE to you about what they are doing. Funny thing Hughes Net worked for me for 6 years, now it stops. -- DW4000 Home on SatMex5/1250, Gateway 66.82.24.15, Signal ~82, Wired LAN, 2-WinXP Pro w/SP2
