Why is my internet data usage high when not home?
Hi. I am on the Home Internet Lite plan that has a 100 GB max. I noticed I have data usage reported when no one is even awake or even home (just husband and I, so no kids online when should be asleep). Ex. We went away for a week and had data usage (It was minimal, and I assume due to routine antivirus scans on laptops). But data usage spiked from 1.2 MB to 1000 MB a few times. Can anyone explain how this can be? What is chewing up our data all day long even when not using internet? I don't like unexpected/unexplained data usage spikes especially since we have a capped plan for data usage. Internet is securely password protected. Thx!
