Re: Now Selling HughesNet Gen4! said by Iowa Cowboy:ok Ricky, I know I am not a rocket scientist, but really whats the big difference from MBps and Mbps...so one B is capitalized and the other is no, the B still stands for byte right?
Capital B is byte (8 bits total) while lower case b is 1 bit. |

Looks like they have changed the dish equipment. Also an interesting read on how google is a partner in building a new low latency satellite O3b, interesting read. |

B = Bytes, b= bits. 1 MBps = 8 mbps.
My current Pro plan is 1.4 mbps, there's noooo way it's 1.4 MBps (or 12 mbps.......)

Actually there are several unlimited DSL connections. Verizon, Windstream, and Fairpoint are just a few. All the locals telcos around here are truly unlimited too if you are in their service area. |

| My DSL is unlimited. They have the clause in there that if you use extreme amounts of data then they will investigate you but thats it. No caps, no limits. To bad the house I am living in is for sale and I can't buy it. Got a felling I will be back on satellite at some point in the near future.

I wonder if they will start counting uploads. |

Upload is included in the caps now.  |

| Looks like I might have misjudged thier ability to oversell the availible bandwidth on SW17. I don't know who all caught it but here is an interesting read concerning the possible demise of the fast service and low latency of the 2 new satellites that just went up.
»www.nbcnews.com/technology/futur···-957135?
It is an article about a cheap end user freindly and aimable antenna for satellite that also is suppose to have the ability to keep satellite reception at high traveling speeds such as RV, bus, train and airlines. If it works and they say it does and if it is cheap enough then I can easily see those new satellites getting crowded pretty quick after the release of this product.

Unless/until providers offer beam-switching consumer grade accounts, this device is likely only effective until your mode of transportation leaves your assigned beam.

What I think is that if HUGHES got rid of the restrictions of the "anytime" and "bonus" times, and COMBINED them, it would be alot better sellling point for them.
Advertising the base plan as 20GB, then restricting WHEN you can use it, just doesn't make any sense (and perhaps these decisions were made MONTHS in advance to actually posting them on the website).
If you're not a night owl or don't do huge downloads between 2am to 8am, you're basically losing 10GB of your usage/cap, because you'd not be on the system at that time to use it.
Even as restricted and limited as mobile broadband is (cellular), they definately dont restrict WHEN you can use your typical 5GB. |

I can understand why they have 2 separate usage caps. If they were to be combined truly, there would be nothing stopping a regular person from using all their data allotment during peak time. By splitting it up, the data usage will be more evenly distributed. |
