Anytime you use any online streaming service on DishNet, it will consume much more of your valuable bandwidth. As a satellite service, DishNet provides you with a capacity maximum per day/month, and is really designed for a normal browsing experience. As soon as you use it for music and/or video streaming, your GB capacity will be quickly zapped!

Viktom -- I don't think so. Google Home only uses data during updates and while streaming.

I would guess yes as it is always on and listening so unless you turn it off when not in use

More than likely no, The Google Home only uses data when you are triggering it to do a task... So when you are using it. When the device is dormant is uses no data so unless you are burning the Google Home up all day odds are something else is affecting your network.
