Thanks for the replies
Thanks for the replies. I managed to get out from under FAP and upgrade to the $119/mo. 500meg version. Except for having to stay up all night a couple of times to upgrade Ubuntu, I haven't hit the limit.
I would have only been up one night but Hughes failed to actually upgrade me the first time I requested it so I aborted the download to avoid getting fapped again. The Ubuntu update was 600+ meg so I had to download during the window and stay up in case there were prompts to be answered.
I am only averaging 6-9 meg an hour doing research and blogging but that is partially because I have not yet figured out how to get video working under Ubuntu and I've been cautious about downloading anything.
Web designers should include a visible size of any downloads including .pdf files they use online so those under fap can decide whether to access them or not.
While researching I have come across information that makes it appear that limits may be coming soon to DSL and cable too. |

Re: Tech Support ?
Run as fast as you can to your nearest wireless ISP. It will be worth it in he long run. You do not want to be stuck in a contract for a service that is not working after only one week. I feel your pain. At least you have an alternative. I lives west of you and have no other alternative right now. |
