Data usage

Internet usage increased when my son moved out and he was the one playing games?? Xfinity is calling me every 2 months now saying my data usage increased?? And it’s only me at the house plus I’m working all day 5 days a week. Someone (Xfinity) is stealing

Same here.  I called them several times and the only thing I get from them is to upgrade my plan for "Unlimited".  I have never even been close to the limit.  This month (August) I went on vacation for 2 weeks to Europe and no one was home, but they say that is what I used and because I use my own modem, they cannot help me, other than offer me a new plan.  My data even shows no usage for 3 months, even thou I work from home and my son was in college.  Now my son moved out in June and I have been gone for 15 days and the only thing they said is that I need to upgrade.  This looks more and more like a scam to get everyone to upgrade.

I just reset my whole network with only 4 devices.  I'll see how it goes tomorrow, but I already called AT* and they offered me 15 $ less with unlimited data, so I might switch anyways just because I will not be scammed, which is what this look like.

user_aw253a I am so sorry to hear about the issues you're having with your data usage. I can only imagine how frustrating this must be, and I completely understand your concern. I would be more than happy to help you get to the bottom of this. To start, I can review your data usage history and look for any unusual activity. Please send me a direct message with your full name and address. From there, we can work together to figure out what's going on.
 

To send a "Direct Message":

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon at the top of the page (it looks like a text bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list that appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

Direct message about what? We’re telling you it’s not us. Stop scamming your customers. There is no way I am using all that data by myself. I’m so glad other people responded so I know I’m not alone in this. This is disgraceful for a company of your size and reputation

If you have a plan that includes TV make if you don't watch things on demand that are internet-based for hours on end. My 90 year old mother exceeded her limit 3 times. It took me awhile to figure it out by looking at last watched menu. She watching things  on demand that played old shows she like. It was internet-based  and she was leaving in there for hours.  Even over night. That will eat up your internet allotment fast because it is steaming.  I put a password on her TV, so when go to those places she has to enter the password.  I told her it ok to watch something once in awhile that saids it's internet-based, but make sure she goes back to regular TV when it is over.
