So somehow, we've used all 1.2 TB of data on our Xfinity plan for December already, with 9 days to go.

I have a *suspicion* it was due to on of my cameras that we moved, uploading 12-second event clips pretty much all day, but Xfinity's app doesn't really break down what is using the data (and neither does my Netflix Orbi app, apparently).

I've taken the camera completely offline to see if it slows the rate. Otherwise, I'm at a loss as to how we are using that much.

Do you watch Amazon Prime Video? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 22:10 2
- sure, we stream all of them; netflix, hbogo, amazon prime. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 21, 22:11 1
  - The reason I ask is that I think Prime's default resolution is about 7gb/hr. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 22:53
is your wifi open or password protected? maybe your neighbors are pirating? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 21, 21:57 2
- google for a site that can run a scan of your 'ports and sockets' to see if your computer is being used as a zombie relay -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 21, 21:58 1
  - you stay away from my ports and sockets! -- nm - mafic Dec 21, 22:11
Terabyte? For realsises? -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 21:48 5
- yup -- (pic) - JaxSean Dec 21, 21:51 [Attachment] 4
  - I don't really know about this stuff, so an ignorant guess: could a neighbor be stealing wi-fi or a daughter's boyfriend be accessing the account? -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 21:55 3
    - Nah, we do have it fairly secure. - JaxSean Dec 21, 22:10 1
      - Hopefully it is just a mistake like David said. -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 22:12
    - Nah. It is probably Russians. -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 22:01
Often, it's a mistake. Contact them. They should give you a courtesy extension. -- nm - David Dec 21, 21:47 1
- The first 50gb over is no charge, but after that, they're charging $10 per 50GB, up to $100 max. - JaxSean Dec 21, 21:53
