Another Victim of DATA Usage SCAM
Going to pay an extra $100 for data usage overage. Woo hoo.
My usage has been the same over the last twelve months and occasionally (twice) have a $10-20 overage when kids are off. Do I get credi...

I have a router that logs my internet traffic and I can confirm at least for me that it's accurate. I have months I've used nearly 15 TB of traffic (yes I pay for unlimited data) and months that I use around 800 GB of data, and it seems to align with my Linux based router using vnstat.
Services like Onedrive/Carbonite/Dropbox and the like can also cause large amounts of traffic. This is because it may back your system up on a specific date of the month. This is just 1 example of what can happen in the background. Windows updates, installing games on a console/steam etc all add up pretty quick.
