Usage although no connection!

Our house was flooded out on the 28th February and we have not lived there since, but I am still showing usage.  I normal usage is about 5 - 6 GBs per month but according to my PN usage history we sued over 5GBs between 28th Feb and 27th March?  Unfortunately on the usage history you are unable to see when the usage occurred.  The modem was connected up to the telephone line at the beginning of March, but then unplugged and disconnected.  Even the phone was unplugged!  For the past two days we have been in a caravan about 50 miles from home and even though there is no modem plugged in at home, usage is still being recorded?  I am using a MiFi connection through Three mobile broadband at present and have been doing so for the past 5 weeks.
I have security enabled the modem ever since I got it, but security should not be the issue as without a modem plugged in usage is being shown even though it is very little.  Any reason why constant usage is shown when no modem or phone is installed?  Modem is stored away at present in a box.

In fact, ignore that. I've just been speaking to the guys here and we've found an issue on your account, fixed it and it won't happen again to you.
Sorry about that

Thanks, but the concern here is how long has it been happening, not that I have incurred any costs.

Sorry, should have mentioned in my previous reply. You haven't been charged anything extra, I've checked back and you hadn't reached the usage allowance on your account so no additional charges were incurred.

Yeah I realise that so not bothered on that point, but was concerned that perhaps someone had been able to hack into my account or router.
