Oh you are wonderful! Thank you for replying, and explaining. And thank you also for not making feel stupid(er). Little bummed that there will be no altercation with kms...
I live in an extremely rural area (pop 250), so I will research what you've told me about proxy server and IPs. Possibly it's my daughter on her computer and iPod? And then we have her friends... on my couch, eating my food, throttling my data usage. But they don't drink my beer, so I can tolerate the other stuff.
There was, however, quite a spike in usage, and slower than usual connection.
Hughes Net has yet to respond with an explanation as to why I am having to buy flipping tokens and why I'm throttled, I should have 2 weeks left. With the help I've received here, a sweet graph to boot, I'll be armed and dangerous the next time I hit up customer support.
Cheers, Ca3le, I thank you - and kms1952 doesn't know it, but he/she thanks you as well!
