With 500mb Data on it?!
Total traffic: 3.55 GB

You've lost me there. Are you saying you've got 500mb of data allowance available?

Is the 3.55GB an old/accumulated figure? Or is that a figure from the router and showing ALL data traffic - which will be between your networked devices and not all internet traffic.

Can you monitor usage from the providers end - i.e. See the 500mb being used.

PS. You've a lot of devices there, so if they are connected the usage will add up.

I'm lost too...

I bout a £10 PAYG T mobile SIM with 500mb data. Put it in my router yesterday and reset the usage.

This morning it read 3.55GB...

"Or is that a figure from the router and showing ALL data traffic - which will be between your networked devices and not all internet traffic."

Ahh... perhaps this is the reason, maybe I'm not using what I thought I was!? Although the table on the router is called "Internet Usage":
I reset again a couple of hours ago, this SIM card is still going!

So you haven't actually used your 500mb of internet allowance - I think that's what you are saying

Sounds good. As I mentioned, can you look from your providers end to see how much of the 500mb you've used?

He probably means 500MB.

Apple devices are pushed updates at the same time invariably so a large spike in usage will occur then and its size will be proportional to how many apple devices you have connected.

Some updates are still pushed to your device, even if you do not decide to let it automatically install them.

It is not unusual for some Apple updates to exceed a Gigabyte!

As mentioned by somebody else, watch out for "iCloud" and similar services as they will upload anything you add to your device(s) onto the internet. Although your data does not show much upload so unlikely to be this.

cheers

Hi all, I am experimenting with various limited BB options. There seems to be one single thing that always comes to light, and that's the amount of data I use at home, without downloading ANY thing, other than web pages. I send and receive email with few or no attachments.

I have an a few iPhones and a couple of iPads in the house - all but 2 have their WIFI off permanently, and all are set to NOT auto update anything.

I have used 1.1GB of data in 18 hours, 8 of those everyone was asleep. I just do not understand what is happening. It means I am completely ruling myself out of using mobile internet - the only real option I have!
