First time posting. I would like to start off with some issues I am having with my Hughesnet Voice Service. When I try to make a call, I have a 50% chance of the call going through. When I finially managed to get a call to go through, the call is garbled/squelching/hear-every-5th-word/un-usable. This issue has been going on for months at what I thought was random times. I have made some observations during all weather conditions and different dates over the months. They are as follows: Hughesnet Voice works when I have not exceded my data allowance. When I enter the FAP (Fair Access Policy) mode, I get the phone and Voice issues as stated above. Weather does have some impact, but not as much as using all my data allowance. Under the frequently asked questions ( https://www.hughesnet.com/frequently-asked-questions ) , it states: "Q: If I exceed my plan Data, can I still make calls? A: Yes. The Data you receive through your HughesNet Internet plan does not impact calls using the HughesNet Voice service." Is this a lie? Was I sold a Hughesnet Voice Plan under false pretenses? Is there something I am missing? I do not have cell service where I live, so I am limited in my options. I have reset everything multiple times. I prioritized my ATA Mac address into the QoS on the router. I do not have any additional router/modem/device connected. Unfortantly, seems like everything in my house utilizes internet in one form or another, so I do go over my data limit frequently. I am wondering if there is something else I can do, or am I out of luck when I use my data allowance?
