Data limits
Data limits have to do with the nature of satellite internet. A satellite's throughput has to be divided amongst the users and since the throuput is limited, caps must be established to assure everyone gets a piece of the pie.

Well, for 14 years I did fine with 10gb. Now with Gen5 I'm not sure that 20gb would be enough. I suspect that Hughes just wants a bigger piece my of my money pie.

The technology has not remained static over those years, and new technologies use more bandwidth.

Kind of like the Windoze-Intel rat race? Intel would come out with their latest super fast new processor, and shorty after Windoze would come out with a new version that would make it run like a snail.
I don't think I'm using very much new technology. The stuff I do is pretty basic. I guess Gen5 is a new technology though It certainly does take more bandwidth

Perhaps someone else can explain all of this in a much better way than I can. I don't think you understand what all of this means and how it doesn't matter whether you use the latest technology or not, it matters that the providers and other users do. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. Good luck to you!
