Poor service
I feel like I've been lied too w there service
Hi Danielle!
I have a few tips that might help you out.
#1 Hughesnet does not support VPN. That's where much of your data is going. Turn it off! Even when you're working.
#2 When hubby is watching movies, does he turn them down to the lowest definition possible? Video in HD uses 3G per hour! SD uses less, but LD uses waaay less. This includes ANY video, i.e. YouTube, etc.
#3 Messenger: this may be an inelegant solution, but do you have a cellphone? It doesn't even have to have cellular phone service. Download Facebook Messenger. It's free and you don't even have to have a Facebook account. If your boss is willing, you can use Messenger to communicate with her in real time and did I mention it's free?
#4 Video games. You mentioned your daughter plays them. This too is a huge data sucker. You may have to restrict her hours of playing time.
These may not be fun, optimal, or what you were hoping for. But I guarantee they'll cut your usage down significantly. Good luck!
