COVID-19 and HughesNet...
I understand exactly how the technology works.
I don't know what kind of experience you have, but when Hughes decides we are out of data, it is absolutely nonfunctional. I can't get a github page to load, pulls and pushes fail and timeout, jira pages won't load.... it's not functional. It goes from barely adequate to effectively nothing. I'm not talking about just during the last few weeks, that's the end of every single month for us. We already can't wait for our contract to run out, carrier pigeons would be more worth the money than this is but I'm not paying a termination fee.
One time, we were throttled because my kids were home for a school holiday and ate up all the cap. I had to drive to a nearby city to get on a McDonald's wifi to push my code for the day. When I'm working from home and the kids are doing school from home, with the current caps in place, we'll hit that point weeks earlier. We've got 10 days in our billing period, we're already completely out.
This company charged me money for six months for modem lease while I was not living in my house due to a fire. I view it as the least they could do is ensure I can do my job.
Bah, what's the point of bickering with you about it. I don't really care what you think, guess I'm just venting about how unreliable this service has been for us, all along. It's the only aspect of living in a rural area that I dislike, having to resort to this collection of sticks and tinfoil for internet connectivity.

I agree. You should start the new thread as suggested for your issue and leave this thread to its inteneded purpose.
