Although not a heavy Facebook user, I have been utilizing it a bit more over the past week or so in search of a senior Lab to occupy an empty bowl that's now available (one of the hazards of dealing with older, retired or abandoned dogs - always sad losing them, but always rewarding for the few years they're here).
FWIW, I haven't had any noticeable problems in loading some Facebook pages that are heavily loaded with pictures and videos.
However, I'll attribute that to some extra-ordinary measures taken to eliminate any unwanted bandwidth consumers on all web sites. While I cant control the amount of shared bandwidth consumed by anybody else or the number of new devices and toys coming online since Black Friday, I can control mine enough to keep things running smoothly during peak periods.
To do that, you really need to know where and how your data is being consumed often without your knowledge in the background and to do that you need to install a robust traffic monitoring application that will provide insight at the the machine and application level to isolate hosts (web sites) that may be unwittingly consuming your bandwidth. Without knowing what's happening, where and how much it's all guesswork in eliminating unwanted bandwidth hogs.
Bandwidth shouldn't be confused with speed despite how its measured, it's a measure of capacity and things slow down during rush hour but there are some things that can be done to make your commute more enjoyable. Bandwidth is more akin to the speed limit or maximum speed on your speed meter (and there only a few controlled circumstances where I'd ever hit 120 mph in my truck).
I can't offer any recommendations for anything other than Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 - but for those Networx and Glasswire provide the level of detail necessary and for ease of use I give a big edge to Glasswire.
Once you know where it's going, recommendations can be made to minimize it.
If nothing else, GlassWire generally puts to rest the ubiquitous "No way I've used that much data" complaints - yes way, unless you've got an install/modem problem which is always a possibility.

It's not impacting everyone and they're trying to establish a pattern for those who are experiencing the problem. They can't associate your profile here with your actual Exede account unless you send the email.

When using Exede the server being used depends on what beam/gateway you're assigned to (as well as the Accelenet server your gateway uses). The beam/gateway you're using can be determined from the map located at:
http://www.northlc.com/_images/beam_priority_map.png
For example, I'm in Virginia yet all of my traffic goes through the Lovelock Nevada gateway and subsequently the Salt Lake City Accelenet servers. After a bunch of different hops after that I wind up hitting the FaceBook servers in Menlo Park, CA. For all intents and purposes, I reside in Salt Lake City for internet use. Determining the Accelenet server is a little trickier requiring the use of a trace route utility. On Windows you can issue tracert facebook.com at the command prompt - the 5th or 6th hop gives some indication of your Accelenet server if you're familiar with airport codes it seems. Disregard it's slow speed all the timeouts (they aren't really what you might think they are).
If I were to use a local Verizon connection, I'd likely be hitting the FaceBook servers in Ashburn, VA.
Different paths, different results...
I suspect this is an issue between your assigned Accelenet server and the FaceBook server you actually hit, could be either or both at this point from what I see here.

P.S. Have you tried calling the phone number Exede Brad provided over in the following when it occurs?
https://community.exede.com/exede/topics/why-cant-i-see-images-or-video-on-facebook
They're trying to catch it in the act and it's important to call when it occurs (not before, not after) if it's a big concern.
