Leslie I think you are on to something.... I did a comparison with Hughesnet and 2 other services I use watching the same 1 hour Netflicks show found Hughesnet data usage to be almost double. HughesNet 984 Mbs Service provider #2 435 Mbs Service provider #3 350 Mbs Ran the test several times all with HughesNet the winner. I should also mention that after 2 months I have never come close to the 25/3 Mbps that are advertised. I average 10Mbps on the down and under 2Mbps on the up. I have tried no less than 50 Hughesnet speed tests as well as third party "testmy.net" allmuch lower than I signed on for. Good luck I guess its Buyer beware.
