Data Vaporizing
Got up this morning, June 1, beginning of a new data cycle and noticed that I had used 241 Meg of our daytime data before the daytime data allotment was running for the month. Our overnight hours ...
Based on everything you have shared with us, you are probably correct that the 12 am to 2 am window was when the data was downloaded - since I was under the impression 12 am was the sacred overnight time -(ok, I was told 2 years ago that midnight was the beginning of the overnight period by one of the reps). I'm setting up my airport to turn off access for devices until 2:01 am. I recall a similar issue last year but not a single rep figured out it could be the time factor...
No need for Liz to throw me a token bit of data but thanks for the info.

You may not have actively downloaded anything but something used your data. Keep in mind that not all things when off are actually off, and some can still use data. If you'd like help in determining what might be using your data please start a new topic in Tech Support. You can do so here... https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/TechSupport
Gaming consoles and satellite TV receivers are known to use a LOT of data, even when not actively doing anything.
