On the shaw iextreme package I was 183 gb nov-dec and 205 gb dec-jan.

I knew I used lots of bandwidth, but I'm pretty surprised how much. I'll have to check where all that is coming from. I use Netflix regularly, and torrents a couple times a month. The numbers are not explainable as far as I can tell. I don't trust them.

Edit: And I'm at 5 gigs used Jan 24 - Jan 30th, and my computer was off (I was out of town) on the 25th, returned on the 27th. I did not use netflix or torrents during any of this time, even when home and the computer was on. Something is very fishy.
