I really think they make it up.

I have access to 150GB of allowance.

Last night I had used 132GB.  This morning I turned on my puter, but have been so busy I have not really used it.

Now I get two email in one day......warning me of my usage.

How can I jump from 132 to 160 in less than 12 hours.  This totally beats me.

Anyone else had this issue.

My question about the firewall is directly related to sbidlee's question. If your router is responding to DNS requests coming from outside then it can be used for a DDoS attack - using huge amounts of data.

If guest mode is ticket but with no password then your WiFi is open to anyone. "Guest Mode" is usually a setting to allow people to use your network without seeing your computers. If there's no password it isn't safe.

Untick that now.
