I have a Verizon air card for internet access on my laptop. I get 5100 mb every month. I am routinely exceeding that usage and that overage runs into big $$$.
I'm no computer guy, but apparently that is an inordinate amount of data usage, especially since I don't watch streaming videos, don't game, and don't upload or download music files.
I do a lot of web browsing and watch the occasional YouTube video and news videos from the Nashville TV stations. I use the facebook instant message system about every night talking to my Dad, but just for a few minutes at a time.
What could be causing this excess usage? Is there possibly a setting on my laptop that is askew? I disconnect the internet every time I log off.
