People won't quantify zero. Unfortunately the way your post reads if the recorded usage was 1KB per day you are suggesting they should contact Plusnet.
I'd suggest you should edit your post to replace zero with something like 10MB per day.

Done.
Is it also possible that the PlusNet IP range is hammered more frequently than other ranges?  They do start in the 80s, which is traditionally seen as home user territory, so ripe for port scans.  While BT's range is (I think) in the 172's.
A tortoise? What's that?
You know what a turtle is? Same thing.

1. Disconnect all PCs from your router (or turn them off) for 1 day and disable the wireless.  Then see what usage is like for that day. There will be some as outside sources randomly ping the router, but it shouldn't be higher than about 10Mb.  If it is significantly higher, then I'd consider raising it with PN.

That looks absolutely fine.
Plusnet have several other ranges which are not 80.*.*.*
