Do the math. That's $8.00/GB/month. Hell, that make COMCRAP look good, which is about $0.28 cents per GB. Of course, neither of them hold a candle to FIOS, which cost $0.00184 (1/10 of a penny) cents per month per GB. So hughesnet costs 28 times MORE than Comcrap, and 4,320 times more than FIOS on a PER GB basis. If that's not an argument for a real nationwide FIOS rollout, I don't know what is.Sprint/Verizon/AT&T and their 5GB cap or should I say FAP, charges $12 per GB... so Hughes would be a bargain... nah, I was just kidding.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20957980 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 21:51:37 EDT Re: 300MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20957292 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20957292 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:13:30 EDT Re: 300MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20957234 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20957234 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:59:02 EDT Re: 300MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20957115
In other terms get 28 hughes satellites and you can hit comcraps 250GB Cap. Get 4,320 satellites, and you can hit what the 'average' FIOS can do in a month.

quote:
HughesNet actually lowered the monthly consumption limit for some users on their most popular Pro (1Mbps, $70) tier from 375 MB per month to 300 MB.


Here is the info from the HughsNet web site:
»www.hughes.com/HUGHES/Rooms/Disp···FA5369]]
Hughes assigns a download threshold to each service plan that limits the amount of data that may be downloaded during a typical day.
While even the daily caps are somewhat low, they don't require the panic based on the assertion that they were MONTHLY numbers.

300MB - a month?

Now, that's insane. It makes the Verizon/Sprint/AT&T 5GB caps on their Aircards look like its generous.

If I were in a VZ/Sprint/AT&T coverage area and it was only satellite versus using a cell carrier, I'd get the cell carrier and one of those Linksys routers where you plug the PC Card into.
I agree. What are these people smoking that makes 300MB a day or worse, a month seem resonable. I just downloaded a 952MB demo off PSN and at 300MB in a day or month, I'd have blown right through that.

In a situation like this, I'd rather have dial up or nothing and save my money for a move elsewhere to where I could get a better connection.

The money paid for these tiers, the caps are rediculous. Now I see that Comcast and their doings are not bad at all.

These people have it much worse.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20956986 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:06:45 EDT Re: 300MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20956981 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20956981 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:05:33 EDT Re: 300MB http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-300MB-20956934 --
