Business vs residential service
I currently have the business75 plan. It’s very slow but ok for basic website access but evening video streaming is pretty much unusable with frequent buffering and freezes. I wanted to look into the possibility that residential service would be ok for daytime web access with improved video streaming in the evening. What is involved in changing to residential and what are the differences I would see in service. I’m currently working from home during the day requiring website access to secure sites and , uploading/downloading of files. I'm anticipating local fiber service within the next year so I won’t signup for any long term service contract.

In a business plan, what’s the difference between daytime and anytime data?
This is what the FAQ states: “Daytime Data Every HughesNet Gen5 business plan comes with a generous amount of Daytime Data to help customers get more done during standard business hours (8am-6pm). Anytime Data Plus, HughesNet for Business plans come with a huge amount of Anytime Data that’s available 24/7 - especially helpful for performing data-intensive tasks, such as large file transfers or software updates. ” So what’s the difference? If “daytime” data is 8-6, and anytime is 24/7, how are the two different? If I have, say, 25gb of daytime and 50gb of anytime, can I use all 75gb during the day? Is this really a statement of limits - in other words, if I use my 50gb of anytime streaming video outside of business hours, will I then experiences reduced speeds outside of business hours, but full speeds during the day, until I use up that allowance? The implication is that Hughesnet’s heaviest usage is outside of normal business hours, and that the heaviest consumption would be evenings, hence the limits there. Is that the case? In our scenario, we would rarely use any evening data - but would almost certainly use the 25/50 day/any allowances during normal business hours. That’s totally fine, right? Sorry if these questions are confusing. The author is confused.
