Is IPPBX service shared or dedicated?
IPPBX service is a shared bandwidth system. Hughes shares each bandwidth channel among multiple customer systems. For instance, if the customer purchases Hughes Plus (PLS) service, which is 1024kbit download by 128kbit upload (1024×128), download rates will not reach the maximum during peak hours. Hughes advertises common averages for each service. See the rates for DW6000 and DW4020 service at their respective pages. Previously, Hughes service used a simple “sharing ratio” system. Under this system, each channel is shared at rates similiar to 10:1, 20:1, and so on. This system has been replaced by the advertised average system described above.
