Unaccountable data usage-hate to sound like a broken record but...
We've been down the "where'd my data go" rabbit hole many times. We turn ipads off, disconnect wifi from computers and put them to sleep etc. when we go to bed. We don't have phones, don't use icloud...
No our DVD player is not hooked to anything-it's old-school (gosh I love old-school!)
But this morning when I got up I had no internet (funny that) so I called and after working on it a bit and getting it back on, I then addressed the data drain issue.
She made sure I was saying it was not my drain and eventually gave me 1GB back (out of the 1.7GB I lost) so that's good enough.
All I can say is I will be paying closer attention to being 110% sure everything is totally off every night and screen capturing before I go to bed, and monitoring during the day-including that old antiquated hourly usage meter. For what we all pay, I'm not going to ignore those kinds of drains...
Thanks everyone...
We're having same issues last 2 months. We are never home Monday thru Friday between 6 am 6 pm.... Weekends and evenings is when we are on the tablet or computer and maybe used total of 6 hours for the week .our bonus time we have 80% data left every month. Wish they would alot over the left over data from bonus to reg use time. They have you pinned on this one.
None of our TV DVD player is connected to internet. Our tablet are off when were away. My computer is turned off and atuomatically disconnects from internet .We are frustrated. Our data was gone in a week and half when the new cycle started. Month before, 2.5 weeks, gone.
When the contract is up in April 2019, I will be looking into a provide like Petera out of Spokane. They use short radio waves, unlimited data and good pricing. We can get their service where we live thank goodness. Or Verizon wireless where we already have unlimited data just need to have them. Free of cost, a signal booster proceeded in areas as ours .we get 4g signal outside the house and a signal booster they will provide.
