I'm seeing similar pattern here. I didn't have any new devices or anything that would cause an increase in traffic, and it went from 424GB in February to 1136GB in March. I also called and the first thing they did is to offer me an unlimited plan.

user_0ksk0t Thank you so much for sharing your concerns about your data usage. With any increase in data usage, I always recommend starting by confirming your connected devices using the Xfinity app. I add each device to a user profile so it is easy to tell who is using what. From there, if you have any devices you are not sure of you and you are using one of our Xfi gateways, you can pause the device's connection. From there, I would recommend updating your Xfinity Wifi password. You will have to log back in on your devices with the new password, but any devices without that new password will not be able to reconnect. If you still have concerns or are not able to pause an unknown device, our Customer Security Assurance team may be able to better help. You can call our 1-800-Xfinity number and ask to be connected.

I am having the same issue. We are 2 people, each with a cell phone connected and there are only 2 TVs connected, never on at the same time. How is it even possible to use 1.2TB?? I wasn't even aware that we didn't have unlimited internet. Maybe we should go back to Starlink!

Hello @user_1s0fnu we hate to see you've been experiencing issues with your data plan. Have you tried any of the steps mentioned above? How long have you been having data issues? Is this something that just started?
