To be fairly honest, no geo-sync satellite will ever give you under about 500-600ms in latency... ... View more

Having it not automatic will cause issues as you shouldn't be assigned a 192.x.x.x address on your LAN when directly attached and the private address they do give you can change at any moment. ... View more

Not a clue as to why that would happen...  I can guess it's due to DHCP renewal and the modem getting a new IPv6 address every now and then?  That or it's losing IPv6 connectivity and assigning just an IPv4 address for DNS... No clue to be honest. ... View more

Liz... even if a user selects 12MB, if they are downloading at a high enough speed (15Mbps or higher usually) then the test will forward to a larger size.  Not much users can do about that either. ... View more

Believe it or not, you can get a PFSense box as small, if not smaller than most of todays routers. :p ... View more

So, when you gonna delve into PFSense? :) Logon Page: Main Page: Shows everything at a glance, from traffic stats and real time traffic, to system activity. Monitoring, lets you view pretty much anything from CPU/Memory usage, to latency and throughput in many different intervals. DHCP Leases: Comes in handy when you are trying to find someone snooping on your network if you register DHCP leases in the ARP tables. Firewall Rules: Little difficult to setup, but once you figure it out, it dawns on you how simple it can be. Gotta love local proxy cache and being able to blacklist anything you dislike. Traffic monitoring.  This is a bit more detailed than the system monitor, it's an addon package. Gotta love when people visit bad websites. :) ... View more

Actually, if all 1 million or more customers downloaded at one time, the satellite would end up crippled. If my memory serves correct... Jupiter One = 125Gbps of TOTAL PEAK bandwidth.  This is the amount of traffic that can pass over the entire system in either direction. Jupiter One has at an absolute minimum, 700,000 customers on it. 125Gbps/700,000=0.18~Mbps. Yeup, if ONLY 700,000 customers ALL downloaded something, and ONLY downloaded (no overhead, no upload to confirm the transfer was a success to the server and so on) you would see 0.1785Mbps, or about 170Kbps which is lower than FAP speeds.  The allowance exists to make users think twice about downloading something large that they may not NEED.  Satellite is a last-resort connection method. BTW... that 125Gbps is split among approximately 60 some odd beams as well, and a dozen or so different gateways. ... View more

I'm sure they are! But do I care? NO! Because the thing is they have toe worse customer service I have ever seen! Along with the thousands of others hughesnet will not last very much longer at this rate! Then, Actually I do! I'm the one who got out of the termination fee by knowing what I'm talking about! This stupid forum is full of people trying to prop up a dying company that people don't want to do business with and those who are frustrated and desperate for help. Yeup... They sure are sinking... Ya know, with stock at three times it's value as it was 5 years ago, and continuing to climb, as well as an ever increasing customer base. /-waits for Bill to post this on his "community" lul-/ ...

Raymond... This was certainly an amusing thread. The manager you spoke with, I assume was probably a T1 CSR that can't do much of anything seeing as Katie, Chris, Amanda, Liz (where has Liz been lately? don't see her much), and so on, are outta the office at 5:00PM Eastern.  So unless you managed to annoy someone (doesn't surprise me) at corporate, chances are your call hasn't been reviewed by Hughesnet yet. ...

Simply put - no, you will need to consult with Frontier about your service plan level and how much monthly data you get from them. ... View more

Comcast is usually 300GB, market depending. AT&T ranges from as low as 75GB to 500GB, depending on location. Verizon FIOS starts to eyeball you at the 1TB mark roughly, frequent hits result in termination of service. All three of those are land based, they are not considered direct competition for the market Hughes aims for, which is locations that are not serviced by land-lind internet options.  Unlimited will not happen. ...

10GB of data over 30 days is about 333.33MB/day, that's download and upload, split between two people it's a very small chunk of data and can be used VERY fast, especially if you are just browsing facebook... Take note of all the facebook activity such as fbcdn.net, facebook.com in the below screen shot.  That user is my 65 year old mother who does very little aside from browse yardsale groups on facebook, but used 196.7MB of data. No, that usage isn't according to Hughesnet, that usage is according to my own router. In reality, everyone uses more data than they think, welcome to the rural life I guess you could say?  Never give up an unlimited plan for a limited one, you will find there are far more restrictions than you would like. ...

Oh? Could have sworn they had somewhat recently posted about being partners with SpaceX on their community o.0 ... View more

This may be true...  But, such an explosion shouldn't have really occurred on the ground like that...  The launch system overall should be rather reliable by now. ... View more

It may delay the bird that Viasat is planning on launching, but Hughesnet has no current plans to use SpaceX...  I would probably suggest the reasoning is that SpaceX is young and has a rather poor success rate IMO as for why Hughesnet wouldn't use them and will use a more experienced company. ...

E911 while not perfect, has solved many of the issues when calling via a wireless or VOIP based number.  Federal regulations mandate that wireless carriers report with in 50 to 300 meters the location that a call originates from.  But, VOIP on the other hand, doesn't and can't do this unless the number is registered with E911 to a specific location AFAIK.  Regardless, one should always have and know their local police, fire, and medical emergency numbers instead of purely depending upon 911. All that aside, I rather dislike the idea of paying $120/month for landline service here that is crackly...  Yeup, that is what AT&T charges residents in this area for home phone service. ...

Honestly, I dislike the idea of VOIP on satellite....  How strong of a wireless signal do you have for cellphones?  I would highly suggest the AT&T Home Phone or StraightTalk Home Phone service if you have cellular signal available in the area. ... View more
