Data OVERAGE??

I have been an Xfinity customer for over 7 years and recently I bought my own equipment. Since I have bought this equipment, I have received an overage notification 2x out of the 3 months that I've had the equipment. I have called several times trying to get this figured out. The offshore rep that I talked to this am would not allow me to speak, everything I said she spoke over me and was yelling, then straight hung up on me. ( WAY TO GO XFINITY CUSTOMER SERVICE) I had to call back and talked to a 2nd offshore rep for a little over an hour, this is just today, she told me that since I use my own equipment that they can only guesstimate how much data I'm using. However, if I started using xfinity's modem that I most likely would not go over on my data for $14 a month. I have been tracking my own data since I bought new equipment and I'm not even close to being at 1.2 terabytes. I was told I was not going to be charged and yet here we go. I am being charged for data overage. I have been checking my data daily/ monthly, I have not gone over on data, NOT EVEN CLOSE to 1.2 TB but Xfinity does not want to hear this. They want me to upgrade to unlimited for an extra $30 a month. I refuse to upgrade when there are 2 adults that live in this household, We both work a full-time job so we are not home until the evening and on weekends we do not stream a lot and basically just use our cell phones that are not on Wi-Fi... I have also contacted your customer assurance team with no luck, so please don't ask me to contact them again. Contacting Xfinity is becoming a full-time job for me, and I absolutely hate speaking to Xfinity CS. 

Looking at this forum it seems Xfinity is having a major issue with this. Seems a little shady to me.

That's incorrect. Counting is done by the equipment at Comcast that modems and gateways communicate with, not by the modems or gateways themselves. The process is described in reports in the "Comcast 20?? Usage Meter Accuracy Audit Report" documents on https://www.netforecast.com/audit-reports/.
