Now you can enjoy more downloads, such as music files, photos,
and software updates!
The small percentage of subscribers who exceed the download
threshold will experience reduced download speeds for approximately
24 hours. During this recovery period, subscribers will still
be able to use the HughesNet service, but their speeds will
be slower.
For example, viewing email and web surfing will be significantly
slower than your normal experience. HughesNet subscribers
who exceed their download threshold should minimize their
bandwidth-intensive downloads in order to have their full
download speeds restored.
The increase to the download threshold, as well as changes
to the recovery rate system, will be implemented automatically
over the next few weeks. No customer action is required.
