    This Broadband usage could be because MS use your comp to provide updates or part thereof for other users in your proximity. :eek:
    Hence Broni's Thread re update control. Neil.

    Refer to Broni's Thread for advice on that. You can stop the usage from WU > Advanced Options > Choose how Updates are delivered > and choose what option you want. Neil.

    I just checked my Data usage for i month - 40GB's and still have 40Gigs left! At $75.00 per month that was the lowest amount offered as the next deal was unlimited for $95.00.
    We are getting done with cellphone charges but getting good deals on Broadband. Cell charges are 44c per minute. Texts are about 10c - so you text instead of talk. Neil.

    There's always an angle. Some times you need to talk to the other party. How much have you been using when you need to do Windows updates. Is it as bad as the article depicts.
