Hi Amanda: Thanks for your thoughts. I've added a couple of Alexa enabled electric outlets, one wifi extender, and one Alexa Dot since changing over to GEN 5. I can't imagine they account for any significan data useage. The Dot and one of the electric outlets are in a guest bedroom almost never used. I still can't account for the data useage. I've used 14% of the Bonus Bites despite having not used the system but one time during that period. Obviously something is consuming data but I can't reasonably account for the amount. Best regards.

Thanks. Was familiar with most of what you suggested and had considered much of it. Unfortunately, none were revelatory. What is most puzzling is that I travel regularly and often go days/weeks without even using the system. I had initally thought of the possibility of unauthorized use of the wi-fi but given that the house is in the VA countryside; my property is gated access; and the system is enabled with a complex password; unless a very bright hacker is hiking thru the woods surrounding the house, I've ruled that out as a possibility.:) I'll continue to attempt to track it down as it's very annoying.

For years we had an older HughesNet 15 GB plan and almost never ran out of data. "Upgraded" to Gen 5 30 GB plan and, over the past year, have exhausted the 30 GB with a week remaining in the cycle almost every month. I'm the only user and haven't changed my use habits - don't watch movies, etc. Simply web data use. While I notice a slight speed advantage with Gen 5, it's nothing remarkable. What bothers me is that despite the claimed speed advantage and doubling my download package, I spend a week, or so, with significantly slower response. According, I regret the "upgrade" and wonder about the system's use monitoring accuracy. Am just curious if others have a similar experence.
