    Thanks Mark - I was guessing that is what I am seeing. I only recently fell upon the "connected devices" information, it's useful and fun to see what is going on and associate mystery updates on our various devices.

Unless the speakers are updating firmware, this is just the data transferring between the computer and the speakers over wifi - not over the HughesNet network. Your data usage plan only accounts for data that is either sent or received over the HughesNet network. I suspect what you're seeing in the devices listing includes info pulled directly from the modem's router, which also includes data passing over the wifi LAN.
