FAP Free Period

I found this:
"Download Period depend on the HughesNet Equipment platform you are using. The hours of unrestricted use shall begin no later than 2:00 AM and end no earlier than 7:00 AM eastern time."
From this I would guess it's 5 hours.
But I read this, too:
"Currently, data downloaded between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM Eastern Time will not apply towards your service plan's download threshold. "
This would mean a period of 3 hrs. only.
Which is correct?
I have a DW6000 on a home plan.

Yes, but only if I use the PC in those wee hours...

Leave the modem powered on over night (not the PC) and the next day you will see your fap free time on the usage page.

Re: FAP Free Period

The download period is 2 to 7 am prevailing eastern time.

There are some places that still say 3 to 6. Thats just sloppy Hughes quality control and programing.
