I've just joined plusnet, really pleased so far.
I've been looking at my usage figures and I'm trying to track down some unexpected use.
According to the usage figures I'm using approx 15MB between 00:00 and 08:00.
Is it possible to get a more accurate breakdown of when my use is occuring ?
Also, I notice the usage site says it doesn't include data for the previous 2 hours. However, when I checked today at 9:00 it showed I'd used a few KB of data for today. If the data really is 2 hours behind it should still be showing only data for 00:00 to 08:00 and nothing for the actual daily amount shouldn't it ?
Thanks
Paul

15MB over 8 hours can be attributed to background usage, packets sent to and from your router to keep the connection alive.

Is it possible to check whether it was mostly in one short burst or spread evenly over the full 8 hours

I monitored my usage yesterday during the day and it was far closer to your figures.
I've only 3 things connected to the network which could possibly power up, these are a NAS, set top box and Blue Ray.
Have ruled out the NAS. Set top box is next.
Would plusnet know when the data was used or is it just accumulative figures ? I'm suspecting a burst rather than steady use.
Thanks
Paul

Sorry to be a pain but any chance you could post similar logs for 13th December ?
Cheers

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

It looks as though it uses about 40MB/hour when out of standby just to keep the freetime epg up to date.
If that's the case it's a ridiculous amount of data especially when you consider I've not viewed any freetime stuff or looked at the freetime epg.
Assuming 40MB/hour and the box is out of standby for 5 hours each day that's around 6GB/month. Can't be right, can it ?
