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...

This happened to me too. I've had the same plan, Internet only, for years and have never gone over. I work from home downloading large files all day, as well as constantly stream music and TV most of the day. I rarely use more than 30GB a day and then for the past week I've seen upwards of 148 GB per day, with a low of 50. I scoured my network for something problematic but could not find anything. All of my devices showed 1-3GB usages per day and comes nowhere near what Cox reported I used. Ended up adding on unlimited data for this month and voila the next day I only used 15GB. MMMMK.
We are internet only as well. I work out of the home as well. Stream Music and usually have at least on TV on all day. We've never exceed our limit since caps were introduced. Last month, January, we had a week of uncharacteristically high usage...for us 50+ GB /day is very rare. We did it 5x's that week. Not sure we did 50GB+/day more than 5 times the entire year last year.
That said, we had been using VUE for live TV. VUE discontinued the end of last month. We are using YouTube TV now. This month our highest day has been 13GB. We have not changed viewing habits. We have a rather boring routine. I'm not sure if it's Cox or the streamer.
Month to date Feb vs Jan...141 GB vs over 540 GB last month.
In any event, Cox has no real explanation when asked.
