@KaylobD09   Throttling speed is NOT a data cap.  Throttling speed is just that...throttling speed.  It's not cutting the service off, nor restricting the amount someone can download.  The data cap is on your full speed data, and when that is exhausted your speed is throttled, but you are not cut off, hence no data cap.  Nor is the statement that there is no data cap a blatant lie, as there isn't one.     In addition, when a person signs up for the service, they choose a plan based on the amount of full speed data, and it is explained in the same sales call that the speed of the service is throttled when that full speed data is exhausted, but the service is not cut off.     When it comes to streaming, or anything else done utilizing the internet, it's up to the customer to know what data is and to know what can and can't be done with the full speed data in their plan, and what can and can't be done when the service is throttled after that full speed data allotment is exhausted.    As for being able to do a lot of streaming in the beginning, during the first twenty days of your service you are in a relaxed bandwidth state, which means your data allotment is frequently reset.  HughesNet does this as a courtesy.  It's done so that devices can be updated/upgraded to current without it affecting what would be your normal monthly full speed data allotment.  After those twenty days the frequent resets stop and the data usage is counted like normal.  The data resets are explained in the Welcome email sent by HughesNet.     Your hobby and your career aspirations are not HughesNet's responsibility.  If gaming, and a future in that area, are very important to you, you have to do what you have to do to pursue that endeavor, just like anyone else.  If it's a serious pursuit you probably have to move to an area that has ground based internet service.      HughesNet provides internet service where others can't or won't.  HughesNet is not made for cord cutting and has never claimed to be the equivalent of ground based internet services, nor has it claimed to offer the same capabilities.  When a consumer purchases a product or a service they need to understand what they are buying, and they need to research that product before they do so.         ...
