So if you signed up for a 375 MB threshhold and 1 megabit download speed, you should always get that since you would technically be exempt from the new limits as you signed up before they went in effect.

If Hughes is ignoring this, talk to the consumer protection division, FCC, FTC, and your Attorney General. They should not be able to do this

You would be technically "grandfathered" in and not be subjet to the new limits.

I heard it's illegal to alter the agreement/contract in any way later on down the road. What you signed up for when you signed up should be what you always get or else Hughes is in the wrong.

Does this affect the Pro-Plus plan or anyone who signed up before the new limits went into affect?

Good ideas: Acquire more Satellite space on other satellites, but make sure the gateways aren't as overcrowded as they are now.

Although, today at 2 PM PST *During Peak hours* I downloaded something at around 90-100kb a second (FF3 for Windows), so that wasn't bad and it surprised me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20922226 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 21:11:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20919375 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20919375 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:46:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20919362 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20919362 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:44:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20915839
Dear David,



Thank you for contacting HughesNet Technical Support. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.



David, please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused to you by the FAP issue. I would like to inform you that the threshold limit for KA satellite (HN9000 modem) is reduced from 375MB to 300MB, however the browsing speed is increased from 1000Kbps to 1200Kbps. The download threshold limit for Professional Plan in KU satellite (HN7000S modem) is the same 375MB with the same browsing speed. I am sending you the information about FAP and the service plan. According to the records your modem and plan information are as follows:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20915839 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:54:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20915723 Installation Included Residential

Pretty unfair. It's too bad they aren't increasing the speeds all around, though you'd hit that lowered FAP even faster.

I wonder if I'm out of my contract yet.... I should check on that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20912356 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:40:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20911506 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20911506 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:44:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20910698
Now getting a straight answer out of HughesNet is another thing..

For the past few days I've been downloading some large software packages, and running right to "5%" of my "bucket".

Right around 360meg per day...

I haven't been FAPped yet.....

I'll just keep my fingers crossed I guess...!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20908639 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:10:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FAP-Limits-Lowered-20908016
OTOH, HughesNet has forgotten to FAP me the last couple of times I've gone over:

»[DW7000] HughesNet forgot to FAP me!

The Home plan looks more and more attractive to me now that I've dumped my kids off onto Millenicom and I use the 3-6AM free period for large downloads. I would probably change if it weren't for the fact that changing ANYTHING with HughesNet brings the very real possibility of royally screwing up service that was working fine.

Guess I'll stay put for now...
