Does Hughes DirecWay service have a Fair Access Policy?
Yes. Under the Hughes Fair Access Policy (FAP), Hughes reserves the right to throttle any site that significantly surpasses the expected daily data figures for each level of service. For daily data figures for DW6000 and DW4020 service, see their respective pages. Sites that are throttled for violation of the Fair Access Policy will have slower download rates than other customers. Customer usage is reevaluated regularly, and will be lifted automatically when usage is reduced. For some customers, this may require 24 hours of reduced usage. This system is entirely automatic; neither Hughes nor IraqSat notifies customers who are in violation of the FAP.
