Gen5 SmartBrowsing?

Does Gen5 have SmartBrowsing like Gen4 did, or are the new, higher FAP speeds taking the place of "SmartBrowsing"?

    Seems so from reading this:

     

    No Hard Data Limits†
    With HughesNet Gen5, hard data limits are a thing of the past. We’re committed to helping customers stay connected no matter what. That means even if you exceed your plan data, there’s no reason to stress! We won’t cut you off or charge you more. You’ll be able to stay connected at reduced speeds until the next billing cycle. Or, you can always use a Data Token to return to full speed.
     
    Small print: â€ If you exceed your monthly plan data, you will experience reduced data speeds until that start of your next billing period. Reduced speeds may be as low as or lower than 1 Mbps and may cause Web sites to load more slowly or affect the performance of certain activities, such as video streaming or large downloads/uploads. Visit legal.HughesNet.com for network management details.

      Well, that's playing around a little with the meaning of "hard data limits", as, technically, Gen4 had no hard data limits, either.  And really, when it comes right down to it, neither did the legacy plans, though the throttling speed was barely even enough to be able to get to the page to use a token.
