NOT AGAIN

Is there some way I can get out of this?


I only surf VN today and I used around 500mb? How is that possible?

This is a testament to how spammy this forum has become.

On a more serious note, check your background processes to see if there's other stuff using your bandwidth. There's probably a more orthodox manner of doing this, but the program NetLimiter shows all your processes and their DL/UL rates. Quite handy for detecting spyware or stray programs which start automatically downloading updates and the like.

Thanks shinny; I'm using a Mac so any malicious software is more slim. I'm using wireless and I regularly check connected devices but it's only me that's using it =[ I dunno what's up.

Would you mind telling me the plan you're on, /0?

I currently on $99 internet that's bound with home phone. They only cap me after I reach $300 extra.

I would, if I knew how to check it! I've been searching on my account at optuszoo.ninemsn.com.au for ages but I can't find a page that actually details what my plan is... do you know how to check?

Sign in with your account/pw and it should say there beside "current plan"

Off topic: /0 halp with chemistry question, pretty please. It's uh.. keeping me awake

wireless? how many people use the internet at your household? Even if you said VN used 50mb a day I'd still be surprised.

is it unencrypted? It may very well be that other people are using it without your knowledge

but
21G in 27 days =\
I don't even use 2.1G in 27 days....

[Damo17]

i use 7-8 GB a month. That's all taken up by downloading Numb3rs and Prison Break that just aired in the states. But 21GB in 27 days is massive.

[cobby]

I exceeded my 12gb limit on the 15th
So i used 12gb in 12 days ..1gb a day

[AppleXY]

lulwut. I can used 12 gbs in 5 days easy, but i'm restricted

[RD]

I used 21GB in around 7 days, so I been capped for a couple of weeks now

You should consider changing plans/ISPs that either charge less for excess usage (I can think of eXeTeL or aaNet - they charge $3-4/GB) or shape their plans (most ISPs have these plans).
