HughesNet Satellite → Re: [DW7000] New FAP is NOT COMPATIBLE with routine internet us

Valid points one and all but in the end it comes down to the same issue. Were not going to be able to change how Hughes does business so your either going to have to learn how to live with it or move to a different internet source which meets your needs better.

My son put our CE service into FAP several times after 4/18 until he got the word that he was in the dog house if he didn't start using a DL mgr. No problems since then and if he can do it anybody can.

I agree with your last post. I just did not agree with your first. Also the 375MB limit for 24hours is wrong. Hughes never sold that and it is higher... how much they sold me actually? Don't know, but I need to rephrase that, they sold ME a known refill rate and changed the rules without telling me the rules, but that aside the 24 hour limit is still higher then the threshold.

So there is what I call fear and scare tactic. The topic starter paid for more bandwidth and could use more bandwidth without getting faped. But they are scared to use the service they paid for because they get nothing to monitor how much they really used of their paid for bandwidth.

All this has nothing to do with bitching, that is the game Hughes plays currently and some of us try to play it well. But thats another topic .... and will it work in hughes advantage ... we will see.

Just this little bit of "bitching" has got them doing serious damage control, hasn't it? (Just look at the amount of it in the above posts!)

And thanks for the confirmation guys:

"The only thing that will change the policy is a massive exodus of subscribers which would be apparent when the next quarter runs around."

That says it all, doesn't it?. (Translation: We don't give a hoot about you unless you affect our income.)

People who become consumed with self interest also become very vulnerable. Don't be so confident that Hughes won't change.

I think complaining on forums like this may be doing some good especially if some of the posts show up when people do google searches to see what the service is like. For many if not most families Hughes probably does not allow enough bandwidth for modern internet usage even at $90+ per month. If the word gets out then perhaps Hughes will have some/more incentive to change. If nobody complains and they can still keep signing people up why would they spend money to even try to add more bandwidth?
