    Because that's the answer when it comes to HughesNet and accelerators.  The effects of using one will range from absolutely nothing to detrimental.

    Correct. HughesNet already uses an http (web) accelerator as well as a TCPIP accelerator for other protocols. They are already maximizing as much of the downlink channel as possible. Adding another accelerator on top of that won't be beneficial and may even inhibit the ones already in use.

    That's the answer, that you shouldn't bother. What's there to discuss?
