| Well, to be completely fair . . . . . . to Hughesnet, I believe that they still offer a download "window" each day that does NOT count against the daily cap (in my area that's from like 1am to 4am). So, it's a "soft limit." Because, with a download manager (or lots of coffee), you CAN in fact download more than the daily "limit" without suffering consequences. Of course, how much you can download in that "window" depends upon what speed you're getting.
Personally, I switched from Hughesnet to Sprint mobile broadband at the beginning of the year and haven't looked back.
Yes, Sprint has a monthly 5GB cap, but so far I'm only using about 2GB to 3GB per month. And, I don't have any VPN issues (Hughesnet suggests that VPNs can run into issues). Plus, if my Sprint connection is degraded because of heavy use on a particular tower . . . I can simply relocate to another location (libary, coffee shop, etc.) and resume.
Sure I'd choose cable or DSL over either Sprint or Hughesnet, but that's not an option for everyone. |

the cell carriers are probally stricter about what can be used over them. i mean id not game over sat ever, but i wonder what cell carriers have against say someone sneaking in a WoW session when in one of those expensive hotels.(because oddly enough the motel 6 has free wifi and the Ritz charges).

kudos:2 | Nothing. AT&T just doesn't like P2P multi-connection stuff throwing a monkey wrench into their systems. Though FWIW I haven't had a good torrenting experience over AT&T Mobile Broadband anyway. I use ImageShack for that. |
