Government mandated restrictions on office workers. Any bandwidth help from HughesNet?

Help HughesNet the US government is requiring work from home due to viruses. Will HughesNet assist by lifting bandwidth restrictions?

    HN will not be lifting bandwidth restrictions, as it is not feasible with satellite internet. See this post.

      If Hughesnet lifts bandwidth restrictions the internet will be so slow no one be able to use it.

  • So many school children now asked to work on school work accessing the Internet! Please hughes net do what you can to add more data allowance without the excessive price ! When I have had to buy extra data this greatly helps! But I cant afford to keep buying more day to day !

        If HN lifts caps it will more than likely cause more problem. Most people can't restrict themselves to using the internet just for schoolwork & research. Many parents use it as a babysitter.
