If so then you have a serious problem. My wife and I stream YouTube and Netflix regularlary throughout the month, not HD but 360p and lower, and we have data left at the end of our last day before reset each month on 50/50 plan. Actually I normally do a bunch of updates the last day to use up the data, which even then seldom happens. Usually still have something left, not in FAP or using Token data.
Maybe you have children and/or lots of devices eating data?
Spent time on phone this weekend with them we have had it for 10 years and never had a problem because we manage it carefully. Hughesnet said there is nothing showing with our account but I think there is something wrong as well. No kids, password protected system. I am unplugging the LAN at night and disconnect all devices from the wi-fi and will be monitoring it.
I was very upset since it is expensive to keep refilling.
One thing I noticed, if you have Hughesnet, you may or may not have DISH or DirecTV? - the new DVR's have ethernet or wifi, I found out eary on the rewind funtion on a show you have just switched to allows you to STREAM to the beginning, this feature streams the show from the internet, not from your TV provider's sattleite.
I have a 94 year old MIL living with us also and she sometime streams show's on demand and uses that feature without even knowing, thus killing our prime time data usage.
