Can I use Voice-over-IP (VOIP), webcam, and videoconference services with Hughes DirecWay service?
Not reliably. The upload rates and daily data limits on Hughes service make these high-bandwidth applications unreliable. While these services work sometimes, Servicesat does not guarantee they will function. Q: Can I use filesharing services with Hughes DirecWay serviceA: Filesharing services such as Gnutella, Bitorrent, eDonkey, and others consume a great deal of bandwidth, and can cause you to violate the Fair Access Policy. Therefore Hughes throttles all services using the common TCP and UDP port ranges used by such software. Filesharing services may function, but will be unreliable and slow. Customers are strongly advised not to use them.
