Somehow our 10g plan lasted a whole 26 days the first month & only 3 days the second month. Yea! Go figure. I think it has to do with the HD, SD, 480, 780dpi, blah blah blah. So my solution is going to be unplug the router until we need to stream a movie & my son's daily tech time.
During your first twenty days of service your data allotment is continually refilled. HughesNet does this as a courtesy, so that new customers, or those upgrading from legacy plans, can update/upgrade their devices to current without it affecting their normal monthly data allotment, as these activities can use a lot of data. After these first twenty days your data usage starts being deducted as it normally would.
So, in reality, your data lasted six days in your first month, and three in your second.
For some data saving tips, please see this thread.
