Does Telecom break down the upload data records by the hour? Any patterns there?

Another thing you can try is to have the computer turned off for the day, and then check what data usage was recorded. This will eliminated an error in Telecom's data monitoring system.

Telecom break it down by the day.

I may have to persevere with a 3rd party firewall for a time to see what happens. And I will keep an eye on the usage on a daily basis to see if there are any patterns.

Thanks.

Microsoft Network Monitor 3.3 (www.microsoft.com)

How to capture network traffic with Network Monitor (support.microsoft.com)

I used it to a while back when couple of PCs were being hacked, traced problem to some IP in China. It was later identified to be a security hole in RealVNC 4.11 that allowed hackers to sneak in.
