BT broadband usage June Summary - can anyone explain?

    Hi I recently started monitoring my BT usage more closely after being throttled a few months ago. For most of May I would only get an error message saying no details for my account. But since beginning of June I am getting usage levels that dont seem to bear any relation to reality (especially upload usage) and seem to involve more minutes than there are in a day.

    1. Between Friday saturday and Sunday my Traffic minutes used each day have increased by 30 hours and 33 hours! Yet I was online for at most six hours on Friday and ten hours on Saturday.
    2. I also apparently uploaded 1.12gb on Fri- Sat and 1.12gb on Sat-Sun. Even though I am uploading nothing, including torrents.
    3. And there is no way I downloaded over 3.5 gb Between Friday and Saturday

    Is anyone else getting any unusual usage results or can anyone explain how this usage monitor actually works?

    Thanks


    For Information the following are the three JUNE readings I got Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and this afternoon.

    Have you got a router on that's logged into BT. Even though you might not be on the internet your router is still connected.
