Can anyone recommend a good way to monitor what comes in and out of my home or is the comcast data usage figure on my account pretty accurate? I'd like for something I can open up at the end of the day and see exactly how much traffic has come and gone real-time.  ... View more

I downgraded my plan about a month ago from the 200mbps plan to the 100mpbs plan to save a little money. All of a sudden I'm going over the 1TB cap which now I might be forced to pay the xtra $50 to add unlimited...what the heck!?!?!?!   With all the tech I have in my home (TV's, pc's, tablets, phones, etc.) its a little annoying now that I might have to monitor everything that goes in and out of my home. I don't know if I can trust the Comcast Data Usage meeter or not which makes me feel that I HAVE to pay the extra $50. I averaged between 800-900GB a month since I've been with Comcast over 2 years ago and all of a sudden I'm over 1TB.    Has anyone been able to prove what their data usage is showing with Comcast is incorrect?  ...

We recently (late June / early July) had Ring camera's installed around our home, 3 to be exact. We probably have the motion sensitivity at nearly high for each camera therefore it is recording 20 seconds of footage to the cloud often throughout the day.    1) Does the cloud recording use a large amount of data? As an example maybe 20-30 20 second clips at 720p and 1 camera is 1080p, on a daily basis.  2) When viewing these camera feeds from my mobile device outside of our network, does this use up our data? What about viewing the feeds when I'm at home?  We stream Netflix / Amazon maybe a couple hours a day, maybe alot more on the weekend. My kids are on youtube probably throughout the day as well everyday. We have home automation stuff throughout the home, not sure if that eats up data. I'm just trying to figure out how we went over all of a sudden this month and I feel like it may be our security cameras.    Any insight woudl be appreciated.  I have 2 ipods streaming to cloud 24/7 using app manything and stream a lot in the home. my usage is almost always under 300 GB. I have many memo's and wireless t'stats and 2 chrome devices that use data too.    note that you can change at any time to unlimited and there will be no overage charges for that month. @After reading alot of the posts on here I think I'm in the same situation  with the spike of data usage. As I said in my initial post, I averaged 700-800GB a month from January to June. I have 20 +/- devices in my home from tablets, PCs, TVs, home automation devices, etc. I had the Arlo security camera's (5 cameras being recorded to the cloud) before I this month I switch to the Ring security camera's (3 being recorded to cloud). In my initial post I thought it could possibly be my camera's but now I'm doubting it because I previously had 5 security cameras when I was averaging the 700-800GB a month. So something definitely has changed @ Comcast.    I'm using a NETGEAR R6300v2 with my comcast modem in bridgemode. Anyone know if the NETGEAR router has a place where it can tell you what devices connected to it is using data and how much?  ... View more
