FAP Guard 1.1

FAP Guard 1.1

If you are or thinking to become a DW 4000 or DirecPC user, you should be fairly familiar with what Fair Access Policy means, even if you don't know it's most intricate details. If not, it is a system that allows Hughes Networks ( the Direcway and DirecPC service provider ) to regulate it's users access to the Internet. You could basically compare it to a download limit, but it's far more complicated than that. However Hughes does not go out of their way to let it's DirecPC and DirecWay users know about the existence or details of FAP, nor provide a tool for their users to know the FAP status they are in at a moment. FAP Guard is just that. It is a tool that will tell you at any point what stage of the FAP you are in, and thus help you prevent your connection getting throttled or getting completely disconnected. We have dedicated a page to publishing and explaining the Fair Access Policy.
