our data usage has gone from 15gb to 1500gb

We have not added any new devices, changed our Internet habits, or had anything done to alter our usage. If this is the company trying to scam us into an unlimited plan, this will not fly. Our connection started in October and not even adding all the months since then would come close to 1500GB.

I had the same thing happen for the month of April.  I’ve had mine since last May.  No new equipment or changes in my usage.

user_g8cmld Since you have concerns with the data usage meter accuracy, I can recommend you call in at 1-800-934-6489, and ask the representative to transfer you to the CSA (Customer Securiy Assurance) team. The would be able to investigate this further.

Hello, @user_ydllfm. Thank you for bringing your data usage concern to our attention via Forums. You're definitely in the right place to figure out a solution to this problem you're experiencing.

 

Have you by any chance checked the Xfinity app to see what device is staying connected even after powering it off? Are there any programs on any device that possibly use data in the background?

Nothing has changed to cause our data usage to multiply by 10. So far 2 days into May the app shows our household having used 60 gigs. After calling about this and getting the corporate runaround nothing was fixed and we are only told to check our usage which has not changed. Our usage just miraculously had the decimal point move after 8 months. I suspect this is all as planned to gouge their customers for money after they have signed the contract. Either upgrade to unlimited or pay double every month due to their shady practices.
