Any ideas? when I checked my usage last night the Orcon meter show that I used negative circa 1,800GB. I have no idea what this means or how I could use negative amount of data.

Should I be concerned? have I offended the IT Gods maybe? My Orbi Access points have been playing up lately and I have another thread for that.

Attached is a pic of the meter.

Cool, hopefully when you invoice them for data used, they pay promptly....

Someone restored the meter from 2006 ? Their meter always had issues :D

Enjoy your free data ;)

It certainly is a odd thing. My usual monthly usage is cira 800gb to 1TB.

Hey Mike,

That is definitely an odd problem.

Did you want to flick me your account in a direct message so I can get this checked out by the devs?

Regards,

Matt

Maybe they're aligning with the power sector and PV - introducing a feed-in rate for data for households that can generate their own?

I've also had exactly the same thing happen, during the day it claimed I was using ~150GB of data then the next day that changed to -150GB of data.

Rather strange...
