Verizon too much data
 

Hey anyone is using Verizon stick?

Usually i pay for 5GB every month

Today i noticed that i used 3.5GB of data already in 3 days:) that's impossible i am using Verizon strict for Stealth,no youtube no movies what are hell is going on?

It looks like you have been hoodwinked by Verizon!

Just called them and they could not answer my question told me to call back in 2 hours..........:mad2::mad2:

had this problem with them years ago, to no avail. someone on the forum is having similar problems with a company abroad. seems to be a highly unregulated part of the business they can take advantage of

So what did you do bro?i am already on 4GB data

it's pay the bill or have it on your credit report. try changing your pw, maybe someone is using your internet. i had no luck at all fighting it

I did change my pw and i have the same problem:)I am going to Verizon tomorrow will see what they gonna say.Thanks anyway

Are you sure you are only 3 days into your billing cycle (keep in mind wireless companies will change your billing cycle for the smallest of reasons)? Is it possible your plan shares data with other devices like a wireless phone? Is it possible you have anything running in the back round on your computer that is constantly using data? To use 3.5 gigs in 3 days it would have to be something major like an online game, an app that is constantly connecting to the internet to check for large volume data, or streaming or downloaded media.

If worst comes to worst, I would ask them to provide me a detailed statement of data usage? They are compelled to provide you with proof of usage in order to bill you for such.

Also why verizon? They are very expensive and there are some possible unlimited options for the same price.

I'm using Verizon for more then one year and as i mentioned strict for stealth.I have nothing installed except drivers,antivirus into my laptop(no games,apps..)

Well I've been with T-mobile,Cricket, Virgin Mobile before and for my area Verizon is the best.

Thanks for reply

Yeah Verizon is expensive but at least my wife gets 20% off thru a deal with her employer. If you are anywhere around nyc and tristate area verizon has the best coverage by far. Worth the extra bucks IMO.

@OP anything running in the background?

Nope.........nothing in the background

Good news guys i just came from Verizon store and they see that i used only 400mb out of 5GB so something wrong with my stick.It does not show the correct usage so they opened the ticket for me and in a few day the problem will be fixed:)

Thanks guys
