[Internet] 5GB Usage Cap

How am I supposed to access never settle bundle downloads that I got for free with a 5GB cap? Tell me that Frontier? HOW?
Frontier Communications is the greediest of them all when it comes to bandwidth.

Presuming you are referring the Frontier-rebranded Hughes Satellite service... You are allocated by Hughes an amount equal to your regular 5GB cap per month during the hours of 2AM and 8AM which does not count against your regular 5GB. You can set the downloads up to occur while you sleep or early in the morning and effectively double your cap.

I could have sworn at one point HughesNet held a "Free download" period where downloads were done without any sort of limit from 2AM to 8AM. Maybe that's gone now that they have introduced the Gen4 system?

As far as Frontier DSL is concerned, download to your heart's content.

Didn't know the 2am to 8am thing.
Is that 2am EST or 2am PST?

Also, I'm from near where you are in the Elk Grove Ca area as well.

Should be local time for the service address of your account. So it would be 2AM to 8AM Pacific for you.
