Re: usage

First - the usage system always lags an hour or so behind the actual usage.
Second - was this downloaded via P2P such as bit torrent

Re: usage

Checking the usage logs it's showing that you downloaded 1.1GB yesterday and uploaded 300MB. Both upload and download are taken into account when you see the usage figures.
If you like I can get you the hour by hour upload and download if that's helpful?

Re: usage

was just a download on my xbox of around 300mb and one on my ps3 of 400mb then just my normal playing usage which is normally 200-330mb
hence why i questioned it
chris yes if you wouldnt mind please as i know for sure no one is hopped on my router
i was wrong to think 15gb a month was enough for gaming good job its a 12 month contract

Hi Monkey,
I don't have access to that information from where I am (currently at home) but I'll PM you with it in the morning.
