Have had the same issue for the last 3 months. Have had the same plan for 8 years and never had a problem. Now suddenly my data disappears after 2 weeks and I can't use internet for the rest of the month. Hughes needs to address this or I'm out. Not going to pay $71 a month for nothing. I will do without and go somewhere else to use internet!!!!!! I don't have windows 10. I have vista.

Don't feel too bad, it's been my issue for 5 yrs now.  My hubby won't change service or new provider because it's cheap and slowness doesn't affect him.  Stuck forever.  You can still use Hughes at dial up speeds when you run out of Data, oh, wait...that's the average speed when you do have data.  It really only has acceptable service from 2am to 6am.

I am on a plan where I get 65 G per month, I still end up using up data even though I am not using the internet....if I unplug the unit then there is no data being used. It is very strange to me how Kilobytes are still being used when no one is using the internet. I watch my data very closely and very careful. Now I have to change my password on my router because someone is using my internet. That's another story.

this is bull, i use to get 15 mb a month and every thing i watched was in hd, so don't tell me it's hd, my download didn't slow down for at least two weeks of use! I thought it would be different with Hugesnet, well i guess it is it's 10 times worse, i am going to tell everyone i know not to use it!!! i'm tired of this type of grap i called dish they said no contract free wifi all the bells and whistles, but then they said they can't set it up where i live? so they got me Hughesnet, well 2 yr. contract, if i wanted wifi $100'00 extra, now my gb's are disappearing like a copperfeild show!
