Re: Why is our internet usage so high?

Without going into details of your private life, what are you (and household members) doing on those computers?

Can you identify all the devices listed in the network screen inside the gateway user interface?

My wife download bit torrents etc using Limewire and uTorrent, both of these I have to manually disable certain stuff on them to stop them from loading up whenever the computer is logged in. Also stopping them from uploading anything. Then I found over 100 malwares on her laptop with Malwarebytes, it means you can have all these malware accessing the internet without you ever knowing.

My brother plays xbox one, xbox 360 games with his friends online and I think he watches youtube on his xbox. I'm not sure what he does on his computer but I think he plays games on that too.
My mother doesn't get on the computer much since hers is slow and has XP still and honestly I don't think it should even be on. She checks her mail, bank and looks at funny animal stuff.
I use my mac to go online and go on imgur and four or five pet game sites. Most are breeding based and is just site stuff, nothing interactive or flash based. One site has a flash based battling program although I do not use it very often since I am afraid if that is the thing that is the problem. Other then that I just browse various sites when I am bored, mostly to just read stuff.
