Re: Now Selling HughesNet Gen4!

THats actually even worse than what we got now.... With Faster internet we'll just fap faster..and no Unlimited time? Are you serious.. We better off staying with what we have now...

I sometimes download 3GB-5GB from games during fap free times... off steam this is totally messed up.. Family all excited about watching movie during the day... now it looks like they are pretending they never mention anything about movies..

I never had any faith in Gen4 since they mentioned it and it obvious they were going to screw us over

The new plan are actually slower not faster......... The $79.95 Gen4 plans is marketed as 10 Mbps (megabit per second) Translated into there old marketing scheme is 1.25 MBps ( megabyte per second) You are getting cheated out of 0.25 MBps on your download speed.

HughesNet will give you the Shaft if you fall for there new marketing scheme about (10 Mbps (megabit per second)) == (1.25 MBps ( megabyte per second))

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?

MBps and mpbs is a big difference.

Hughesnet NEVER offered a 1.25MBps or even a 1.5MBps package on their current packages (not including Gen4)....still not sure what kinda comparison ricky_005 is trying to make.

Capital B is byte (8 bits total) while lower case b is 1 bit.

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.......)

At least a few people understand the difference between MBps and Mbps.
