Why do I have less data on the first of the month than what I pay for each month?
March 1: 6.3GB Feb 1: 5GB on my usage chart instead of 10 that I pay for.
This might sound counter-intuitive, but the graph will show what was left at the end of the day, not what it starts with.
Therefore, looking at March, it looks like 10-6.3GB (or 3.7GB) was used in the first day. Judging from the slope of the curve, that usage seems consistent and would definitely run out by the third day.
I would seriously look for what might be draining that fast, which is typically something like movies or TV shows that are recording on-demand rather than live. Doing a lot of 'cloud' operations such as Google Docs (et. al.) will also use a lot of data, and might contribute to that.
Hi Mike,
No Google Docs or cloud using here and my DirectTv is not set up for internet access. I'll try one of the programs that Liz suggested and hopefully it will shed some light. It's the same every month.
