Fewer plans in my area
So I was checking the Hughesnet plans for my area, always hoping one day I'll see the Ultra plan there, and noticed my plan is gone from the list. Now there are only 2 plans left for my area: 5 gigs and 10 gigs. My plan is the 15/50 plan, and this is no longer offered.
** How does Hughesnet decide what plans to offer and why are some removed?
**If a plan is not offered, a customer can't purchase it anyway?
**I won't lose my current plan, right? 10/50 would not work well for me, and 5/50 is just....NO.
Yes, I am feeling whiny, and that option is not provided under the "Sentiment" emoticons. Tragic.

- I don't remember what my beam is...34?? I think I'm sharing it with a bunch of beam-hogging users who really should get off the Internet. :)
Our engineers have been performing miracles in upgrading our system and ground infrastructure to increase network capacity for all of our customers.
Engineers are wizards.
I'm not really complaining, since I get great Internet, but I was a bit surprised to just see 2 plans left.
Thanks for the info and here's hoping Gen5 will bring more plans to my area.Look like 50% of your beam is waterlogged.
I sure hope that all of the people in the lake have really good dielectric grease on their cables!Look like 50% of your beam is waterlogged.

You can see it in your SCC.You can see it in your SCC.
I wasn't home at the time....is the info available elsewhere?- My favorite saying. I'm a technician. I fix the things a Engineer can't.

Yep, the eggheads can't do anything without the infrastructure in place. I'm picturing a lot of techs and other trades people doing a LOT of work right now on the ground preparing for Gen 5.
PS: Seriously doubt HughesNet invested much other than planning in ground infrastructure for Gen 5 until the satellite successfully launched. Would be stupid to do otherwise. Now it is a bit of catch up. Every so often I rebuild Bertha, my computer.
That entails taking everything out of the case and installing at a minimum a new Motherboard, processor and RAM.
At issue is the 10 internal Hard Drives and all power and data cabling with attention to the air flow, direction and volume of all 11 fans and a multitude of BIOS settings to get a new Mobo to mount OS's ranging from Win98se thru a couple of Win10 test bed installs and finally some Linux OS's.
THAT is a several hour job. I could not conceive of setting up a Network that would allow a million or perhaps more subscribers to connect to.
My hat is really off to the technical and engineering staff

- I don't believe so, other than the reps themselves. I think the only place it can be seen by us is from the modem.
