Usage
As soon as my usage resets 2 days later it’s saying I have 0 usage left. I would like to know where it’s going, so my question is how do I find out who is using my internet or who is using all my data...
It's going to devices around your home. You can use the system control center to see what's connected, and keep in mind that the data you get must be shared between all those things that are connected. If you do data intensive activities (such as streaming) that can eat a lot of data very fast. There are also things like smart TVs that, when connected to the internet, eat up data like there's no tomorrow. This can happen with internet connected cameras and other devices too, like Alexa and others.
To see what's using data, you can install the free Glasswire app on your Windows computers, and I think there's an Android app too. It shows you what's using data and how much on each device it's insalled.
If you don't have it already, you should also download the free HughesNet usage meter. It can help you check your data levels whenever you want, though it won't tell you where data went.
You can also buy a router that monitors usage for the entire network. GabeU is familiar with brands and can probably recommend something.
