High data usage
In early December I ditched DirecTV and decided to stream live TV (PlayStation Vue through Roku) using Cox's Preferred 100 data plan, mainly in order to reduce the $160/month I was paying for DirecTV...

My increased data usage also started the last week of November. None of our behaviors changed and we went from using approx. 10 gigs a day to 50 gigs a day. No one can tell me why but in the last few days, it has come down to 35-36 gigs a day so hopefully we won't go over the 1T we are allowed.
Have you been streaming 4k content by chance? (Netflix, Youtube, etc.) 4K content uses a lot more data than 720p or 1080p.

I don't do any streaming, not music or videos, it makes no sense.
- Hi there, you may want to change the password to your router to see if that makes a difference and make sure that anything you access when finished that you completely and properly log out of it. We're here to assist with any further concerns. -Thanks, Carol
I replaced my router and modem and changed the password but excessive data usage was still recorded.
