I have had Hughesnet satellite internet for about eight months. My browsing experience is rather good. Downloading small files, such as music, is a breeze. But when I try to download files over 60 megabytes, my connection slows majorly down. The download stops and my internet is too slow to use, or doesn't work at all for 1-2 days.
And if it helps, the same problem occurs when I try to download with Xbox Live.
Any suggestions. Please keep in mind that I'm not an expert on anything dealing with the internet.
Thank you so much.

answer #1 is exactly correct .. u get a chunk of hi-speed bandwidth for the day .. download large files or watch streaming videos and u will use it up rather quickly ..

yea satellite internet has very high latency, and the isp probably uses packet shaping
