I have many videos on my laptop I've downloaded in the past from iTunes. I'm using Plex in order to watch them on other devices I have (Roku tv, Tablets, etc.). I've noticed that even though I'm not downloading any new videos from the internet, my data usage is really really high which can only be explained if Comcast is counting data which is being transferred on my local network as part of the data usage.
This is absurd! Data on local network is data I've already consumed and should not be counted as part of the data usage, even if it goes through the router. The data is basically moved from one computer of mine to another and no "internet" connection is involved. I'm considering buying an external router in order to over come this problem but I'm not sure it will actually solve it. I tried to read about this annoying problem in Plex forums but could not find a valid solution. Did anyone managed to solve this problem?
