    Hi JT,

     

    Thanks for posting. If someone hasn't already directed you to our sticky thread on unidentified data usage, here it is. You may post your screenshots here in your thread. Your cooperation and patience are greatly appreciated. 

     

    There are additional tips here. More recently, another HughesNet subscriber like yourself tracked down the culprit of his unidentified data usage to a failing Google Drive sync.

I have no doubt that your data issue is very frustrating.  The page I linked to is to help determine what is, or has been (since you last booted the modem), connected to your HughesNet service, which is the first step in narrowing down where your data may be going.  

 

If you have a Windows based computer have you installed Glasswire?

    Well, there's nothing I can do for someone without their help.  I also see you're working on an issue in another thread.

     

    Good luck to you.  I hope you get your issues resolved.

      thank you Liz..  

       

      I've been a fan of yours from the first time I read one of your consistently and brilliantly supportive, helpful and considerate responses.   In my experience and to my knowledge there is no one better than you.

       

       

      JT
