Free monthly usage

HI guys
                 been looking at my usage lately and found out over time with my router turned of at 10.30 pm or there abouts and not turned on again untill say 9.30am in the morning that i still managed to use 61.51KB  not a lot i know but how the hell can i use anything when im no connected to the internet, ok its free usage and im not charged but if the management here want to explain to the membership how this could happen they can check my account for the 26-11-2010 as i tested it as i was suspicious about this

Re: FREE MONTHLY USAGE

Bear in mind that the usage reporting tool on our website can be up to two hours behind.
Checking the back-end database, there's no usage recorded against your account after 10-11pm.

Are you turning the *router* off or just your PC? As we're still seeing RADIUS connections overnight.

Re: Free monthly usage

hi guys
              just an update, turned router off 10.47pm last night and left it off for twelve hours looked this morning and not used anything at all as you would expect, so what the hell is happening here, i reported this here yesturday  then all of a sudden it stops, somethings funny going on here if my router is turned off my account should not show any usage right as it did last night, explanation would be nice from management

Re: Free monthly usage

As in my previous post, we were still seeing connections the previous nights, the amount of use (minimal) ties in with normal background usage on your line. Last night I'd guess that as you turn the router off completely there was no connection and hence no background usage.

Re: Free monthly usage

hi chris
              thanks for reply, but the router was turned off on friday as well, there is only one way to turn it off same for friday as saturday or any other day, (showed usage friday but not saturday) so back to the question why is my account being loaded with usage which i have not used,  if you are showing problems with the line dont add it to my account as my pc is not connected to you.
