Re: what causes difference in usage total?

I have the same question. My router with OpenWRT always reports a usage lower than what gets reported by Videotron.

I use a software called vnstat to measure and create visualizations of my usage.

The difference can be substantial as well. Like 10-20 percent.

I must admit though that I never checked if it was base 2 or 10. I'll check that later.

it's never consistent.. sometimes my router measure is higher and other times it is lower.
