Is Tachyon service shared or dedicated?
Tachyon service is technically a shared bandwidth system. However, Tachyon service uses a “priority” system that is different from Hughes service. Under this system, customer traffic is given priority as long as they do not exceed their Monthly Volume Transfer (MVT) limit. When service is prioritized, it is very similar to dedicated bandwidth. When a customer with Tachyon Enterprise service goes over MVT, their traffic is “deprioritized”. Without priority, service is much slower and less reliable. When a customer with Tachyon Express service goes over MVT, service is reduced to 32kbit by 32kbit until the next month. Express customers can purchase additional blocks of data to increase their MVT for the month. Tachyon service is sold by both bandwidth (upload and download in kilobits) and MVT (in megabytes). Tachyon service also uses a profile system. This system assumed the customer’s traffic is used at a ratio of 3:1 download to upload for normal service levels, and 1:1 for symmetric s
