Massive data leak
I haven't posted here in awhile because usage has been manageable over the last year or so. We've been able to live with the 30/50 plan once we developed a routine. We wouldn't run out of data unless we had visitors for a few days that would use more data. However last fall (around Sept) we noticed a larger data usage and we would regularly run out of data 5 days before the reset. I made screen shots of data usage daily, turned off all computers, TV connected to internet when they were not being used trying to isolate a problem. Didn't find anything that jumped out.
We decided to upgrade the data plan to 50/50. Consideration was given to getting an unlimited data plan with verizon for the cell phones but that was more expensive for two phones than upgrading Hughes 50/50 plan.
So, long story short. We burned through 100GB of data in 17 days. So now I'm back to taking screen shots (I need to wait for the data cap to reset) and trying to isolate the problem again.
I'll try using the usage meter again. It won't run on either my Mac or PC. I'll try some of the suggestions for fixing that problem that I've read in the community forum.
