Xfinity data double Netgear traffic meter

[thomaspuzio]

I use my own router/modem and it has a traffic meter. The traffic is measured for both up and download traffic. So all data passing through router is recorded. However, the amount of data used is usually half of what Xfinity lists on their site and app. I show 11.5GB this month (meter reset on 7/1) and Xfinity shows 21GB. 

Why the difference, and what can be done about this?
