| 614574 | 2007-11-24 07:48:00 | The Xnet usage monitor was down earlier this week and it is currently catching up with all the bandwidth missed which is a slow and lengthy process. Please refer to the status report: xnet.co.nz the catchup process should be finished by Friday (30/11) and should be back to normal after that. |

| 614579 | 2007-11-24 09:02:00 | I find TF2 uses about 20mb an hour when I play.That's what I found out with most online games I play. If he's using more than that then I'd say it's updates etc, which'll be only temporary bandwidth usage. His 20gig account should be plenty unless he's playing 24/7. :horrified | Greg (193) | ||
| 614580 | 2007-11-25 02:50:00 | Have you got a secure wireless network? Someone could be piggy-backing on yours if it is not encrypted. | lakewoodlady (103) | ||
| 614581 | 2007-11-25 23:32:00 | also there could be spyware/trojans calling back in the background. Although you'd need a lot of these to account for usage to be noticable I think. | utopian201 (6245) | ||
| 614582 | 2007-11-25 23:46:00 | I don't see anyone mentioning it - but most ISPs refer to "usage" - not "download", since your data usage is made up of both upload and download. In a gaming situation your data usage might be twice what you expect. Since games will be updating the server as much as getting situation updates. E.g with Xtra (i suspect other isps the same) Usage = download data + upload data. |
