Am I using bits/bytes all the time my computer is on?
Or am I only using my ration when:
I browse?,
Read emails or send emails?
Play web games (Sudoku)?
Watch videos on youtube?(Not download)
Print?
Scan?
I know how to check my usage but not how to control it!
Regards.

This is because so many things these days communicate with remote servers, Applications tend to automatically check for updates, windows/osx and various antivirus software will be periodically downloading updates.
If you use anything like skype that will be constantly talking back to it's servers so maintain it's connection (Although it uses very little bandwidth unless you're currently in a call)
Just having the router connected is enough to use some of your allowance if someone decides to try and send you data although again that's usually insignificant amounts.

From the View Your Broadband Usage page clicking the Usage breakdown link will show you the types of usage you use most.

I have checked every single line on 'View my usage' page - twice! - and cannot find the 'Breakdown' link that you refer to.

NB You don't have to wait until the end of your current contract to upgrade - there's no penalty on your existing contract if you start a new contract on a different product.
