Hi All,

 

I have a family member on a 80gb plan, today they received an email notifying them overage which created a panicked response. The internet connection is used daily however billing/graphing data seems missing - I appreciate and expect that most on GZ will be on unlimited. 

 

 

There seems to be a bunch of data and a month missing  - I wonder if recent software upgrades have introduced a 'feature'.

 

 

This is completely bogus..... 

 

 

Graphical representation of item above - show's no traffic then consuming ~90gb in a day...

 

 

@2degreescare @morganbrowne

 

Nick.

Just to confirm (yes, I am on unlimited) I can see all months and daily usage too, including the chart on top of the page corresponding to each day.

Does that mean you get cash back? :-)

Yeah, I noticed this a few weeks ago, but clean forgot about it, but mines completely borked, too.

One thing I also noticed, is that the data is accounted for on the day I had to kill the circuit my router lives on, so it appears to count when the PPPoE session is dropped possibly?

Hi, 

 

That certainly looks a bit odd - suggest they call 0800 022 022 and speak to the broadband technical specialists.

 

Cheers

@morganbrowne it seems this is happening to more than one account - perhaps have someone look at this as it may be a widespread problem?

Thanks for info - if this is the case the broadband team will escalate them and get the right teams looking into it.

Many years ago I've said this about Vodafone... 

 

Users posting this kind of problems here are the early warning signs. Telcos should have intelligent systems to detect patterns and act proactively when something is not right. Waiting for people to call is just pushing problems in the "Look later" basket, and when things are big enough to be noticed by outsiders then it's too late.

Just chiming in here for the record I am also affected.

 

Accounting on my router is around ~10tb being used and yet the 2degrees portal is only showing ~1tb being used - I note some days it has only counted a few GB so something iffy is going on!

What uses 10TB? There was a spark employee I saw mentioned he uses 1-2TB a day. I’m so curious to know what people are... forget it. This deserves a new discussion. Hold my beer.
