Issue with data usage
Your response helped and I disconnected both of our televisions and my phone from Hughesnet and it has helped with the issue. I would think that the 100 GB plan would let me run more than 2 laptops that we use for web browsing. No streaming, no music, no gaming. If Xfinity would come to my neighborhood I would switch in a heartbeat. I only have Hughesnet because it is the only option. It is ridiculously expensive for what we get!
If you have satellite TV, and the receiver had been connected to HughesNet, you may want to consider severing that connection as well, especially if it's DirecTV. Their receivers will sometimes use your internet to update various aspects of the system, including the Guide and pre-downloaded films, as if it's available, they'd rather use your bandwidth than their own.
Good point.
