Help with my internet usage

[Fingy]

I have been watching my internet upload/download usage (from my ISP website Rogers) lately and noticed that the numbers dont make any sense. On an average day I read and answer my e-mails, read the news, listen to music on youtube etc etc. But Rogers says I used 1.1 gigs that day!! Thats complete bs. And back to my question. Can cable internet (not wireless) be "hacked" and used without my knowledge? I know that can be done with wireless. Or is Rogers just screwing me over and adding their own "magic" download figures? Yesterday as an experiment I turned off my modem and unplugged the ethernet cable for a day. No possible downloads. I went to the Rogers website this morning and they have stopped showing my internet usage. Is this a conspiracy against me?

Thanks

It's possible because of you tube. The video that you watch are technically downloaded(buffering) and vids that are like 720p that is HD vids are heavy in file size so 1.1GB in one day is not a surprise to me.

I'll try a day without youtube and see what my usage is then.

Try a day without porn, and that really lowers internet usage.

But really, sound takes up a lot of "space", so the videos would really contribute a lot.

Rogers says I used 29MB that day. I did use the internet briefly so that makes sense.

Sound takes very little space. The video part takes a lot of space, though.
