Your frustration is reasonable, but you need to understand the limitations of satellite internet. HughesNet offers these data packages: 10GB, 20GB, 30GB, and 50GB. If a subscriber has the 50GB package, this means their household can use 1.6GB a day (in a 30-day month) in order not to run out of data. That's not a lot per day, especially if you have many people using the data and doing data-intensive activities such as online classes, Zoom, streaming, etc. This may be what's going on in your household. Satellite internet is different from terrestrial types of internet (cable, fiber, DSL). The satellite only has so much data to go around, and that amount of data has to be shared among all the subscribers. You can buy tokens to get more data, or you can look for terrestrial providers, if they are available to you in your area. Most of us don't have viable alternatives, so we need to manage what we get and budget our data use or buy tokens. HughesNet doesn't promise you will never run out of data. They don't control the Internet or how you use your data, or how much you use. They sell you a data package and how you use it is up to you. Even when new satellites are launched, the data packages will likely remain far smaller than what you get with terrestrial providers, so we will need to manage/budget our data for a long time to come. You could contact the terrestrial ISPs and ask them why they're not interested in your business, why they don't bring their services to your area. Contact your local council too, and your representatives in Congress and demand that they work on bringing terrestrial ISPs to your area so you can have choices.
