Massive spike
I have a massive spike, of over 600gb within 2 days, showing in my data usage. Told our browsing is causing the issue. WE'VE DONE NOTHING! Nothing different than we've always done. Past 3 months only...

Yea to be quite honest since round February we have been reaching a stupid ridiculous 2500-3200 gigs and we used to not use more than the original amount warranted. Definitely feels like a security leak and data’s draining out the ears hat cox is ignoring since it falls into the security category or something cause it’s not normal. For gods sake it’s me and two seniors. I monitor my network personally and I know for a fact nor I nor the elders are pushing that kinda data 🥲
Have you changed your Wi-Fi password since February? You may not be using that much data, but your neighbors could be pirating your Wi-Fi. Even if you don't think it's happening, change your password anyway and let others in your household know they shouldn't share it with anyone. Let us know if your reported data usage significantly drops next month.
I’m having the same issue, massive spike in network management and testing usage, putting me at my limit, nothing has changed, no unknown devices on the network, cox wanted me to buy more data, also change the password but nobody is around to steal my WiFi, I’m fairly isolated, I’m thinking to change to satellite, has anybody else done this?
Here’s my current breakdown:
cox network management and testing 90%
Streaming video 3%
other 3%
Social media 2%
Web browsing 1%
File transfer and backup 1%
