As I said in another post.   I am thinking of going with my theory that any device connected via wifi,  the data being read is being doubled or trippled it by acceident.     The reason there is lot of reports that have higher data usage but the same amount of useage.  If possible on computers & tablets use ethernet connection if possible and disable wifi.   This would be advice for everyone.   I will be limiting my roku usage until comcast fixes this issue.   I will do some further testings first. ...

Interesting.    You notice more data usage as well.   I blamed on the roku & the roku youtube app.    I don't think that the issue after all.  I have another post on here talking about my issue.    Now,  I am almost postive that comcast is misreading the data used if all your devices is connected to the modem/router via wifi.   I think their computer is doubling or trippling the usage.    It seems like everyone data usage is high if they using wifi connection.    I can test really good for one person.   I knew I couldn't use 14GB in 6 hours.   Before anyone says that the previous day was added that why its higher nope--I have tested it out.  I don't really watch that much tv.  I already confirmed 2 GB for a SD Amazon move,  this was via ethernet using Google chrome browser.   Comcast techs need to check and see wifi connection are/is causing a higher data usage when doing the same thing or close to on a computer connected via ethernet.  ...

As I said I suspect two causes youtube app or comcast not reading the data correctly from wifi connections.   Is your computer hooked by wifi?  If so, disable it & use ethernet if possible.   Also if any device including phone & tablets most have the youtube app installed.  That needs to be disabled or removed.      I don't think the following is the problem.   You might want to change the router password in case there is a stray/hidden device connected to it.   I wouldn't be suprised if comcast computer is reading the data sent incorrectly.   ...

TibbieMom I think it could be the youtube app-even when its not on or inuse or wifi devices data beeing read incorrectly.  I havent verfired it yet.  I just did a test last night.   I used  14GB when it shoud of been just 4GB.  I only watch a few youtube clips & two movie all should of been SD formart using the roku.  It could of been up to 8GB if the roku still sees the hd signal.   I don't have an hd tv.    What you can do about  youtube is remove the app.   If you can't remove from your device,  you can disable it in the settings, ignore the warning & yes let it uninstall the updates to youtube.    You can still you use youtube by using the chrome browser & going to mobile site of youtube.  Otherwise, comcast is possibly misreading all the wifi devices & possible doubling or trippling the data thats its seeing.  I am not saying that comcast is doing it on purpose but theyneed to have it checked out.   Computers can make mistake becuase its a person who programs it.   I still haven't verfied what the cause is.  Thats why I haven't conntected comcast support yet. ...

Yes,  I watched more video/shows in the last month 238 GB.    I know I didn't watch that much or download big files.   I have an old tv,  so I don't need the HD settings at all.    Roku claims the bit rate won't work but others claim it will.   One person said he set the bit rate to 0.3 mps and it worked for him.   So who is correct?  Also, is there a way to limit speed using wifi router?   So, do I need to keep roku uplugged when not in use?  Thank You. ...
