Now, there are many things on many devices that can use data without your knowledge, and none of them are the fault of HughesNet. For Windows based computers, the most recommended program for monitoring data usage is Glasswire, which monitors the data used on the computer it's installed on. It will tell you how much data was used, when it was used and just what program/app/service used it. It's free, and it's here... https://www.glasswire.com/
For non Windows devices there are similar programs, though I don't know what they are offhand.
