HughesNet Satellite → Re: so you don't like hns fap?

Yes I do understand and I understand they are going to buy the bandwidth to cover their customers. LMAO they are not all going to get together in a pow wow once a month and draw 200 names out of a hat and say well we dont want to pay for these peeps bandwidth so lets just put the screws to em this month. They will alot so much bandwidth and likely by the year and not the month to more than cover their customer base and it will be relativly a constant amout from 1 period to the next unless they experiance a spike or large fall in customers. The bandwidth can be purchased by the month and even by the week actually but most companies I have heard of purchase it by the year or draw a several year contract in the case of more predictable markets.

I'm not part of the conspiracy theorist group that thinks HN is FAP'ing random people. I'm just saying that it does lower costs by quite a bit. I know a few datacenter owners that pay by the 95th percentile bandwidth usage.

I will say that with the new FAP, HughesNet wouldn't be the best choice if every other aspect of the service was the same except for the FAP. Many home customers will use most of their bandwidth just on the weekend, while they forfeit the 200MB/day they didn't use in the week. Two days of usage and getting FAP'ed for under 1GB of data wouldn't be a great deal to me.

I agree there are a lot of people here who don't contribute anything, but come here just to say if you don't like the service your opinion has no merit. There's also those that come here just to flame the service, while they may or may not have ever even used it. I try to keep my posts here informative and to the point.

I'm no longer a HughesNet user, but I have quite a bit of experience with them and think some of my knowledge may be helpful. I may not agree with all of the company's practices, but I try not to punish the users who need help for the poor business practices exhibited by HughesNet. I'd probably be better off in the networking forum, seeing as that's what I do.
