How do I get a report on total data usage for a billing cycle?

    HughesNet has a prioritization policy in place right now that favors work and schooling related activities because of the pandemic related increase in traffic on the system.  Things like gaming downloads are taking a back seat during times of high volume, which is pretty much right around the clock at this point.  Because of this, game updates can take a very long time.  

     

    There's no way to get any kind of a report like you're describing from HughesNet.  About the only thing you can do is use a router with data usage tallying capabilities.  Most can these days, but the ones that can tally by device cost a good bit more.

Thanks for the input. I'm confused though because I don't see a "my account" anywhere.  When I type in 192.168.0.1 it takes me to 192.168.0.1/#!/home/bist and there is no "my account" listed.

 

And yeah, I know it all adds up but I want to know just how much it's adding up.

My fault - I wasn't clear.  You need to use this site. Look toward the top of the page and use My Account -> Usage.
