The official explanation is at https://portal.plus.net/support/broadband/usage/vmbu.shtml#breakdownHelp.
I think it is mainly traffic which for some reeason or other couldn't be classified into one of the other categories. There shouldn't be much under the Other heading.

At 10%,'Other' traffic is my third largest category:
In my case, I suspect that it's VPN traffic when I'm working from home.
