I am currently using DirecPC and I advise people to stay away from it if you don't live in the boonies like I do. Hughes' engineers are currently trying to "optimize" the bandwidth algorithm and are thus squelching my access. Hughes fair access policy states that capping should only come as a result of downloading more than 150MB/hour on average over a four hour period, however, I am being limited to about 150MB/day download. I suspect calling tech support does little to help and probably puts you on some sort of "list". If anyone knows anything about this situation, please reply to me.
