Go to Rogers.com and check your usage. You can track your usage and see when it is happening the most. 30gigs over in a month tells me that someone probably hacked your wireless network or it is an open network and you other downloading stuff off your network. Happens all the time.
its all mostly uploading not downloading so I just wanna make sure its not due to rogers making changes. afterall they did boost the gig limit and increased speed since when do you get something for nothing?
Are you using torrents? If so you need to be careful because out of the blue a whole bunch of people may want what you have and your upload use will skyrocket. I got burned by this before I set a monthly cap on my upload speed and limit (your torrent program does this).
Don't trust the online account to track your usage... In my experience, it functions a few days slow. If it says you have 1 more GB of usage left, it is very likely that you've already surpassed it. Its another one of their tactic to get you to surpass your usage so they can bill you for it. The don't give a fuck if you've been their client for 10+ yrs.. They'll make you pay for it even though someone may have been stealing your internet line
+1 million. I pay $40. I get consistently 20 mpbs and my limit is 300 gigs. Totally worth it.
oh shit, so youre saying if I leave my previously downloaded files on my bittorrent and don;t remove them off bittorrent when other users try to download them my uploading will skyrocket? I just removed them all now will that stop it?

Been with Primus DSL ever since Bell started throttling and threatening to charge for usage about 3 years ago. Never had a problem, and never pay more than the regular monthly amount.
That's correct. If you leave the torrent active then others will keep uploading from you. It boosts your rating but eats up your bandwidth. Either put a cap on uploads or delete the torrent once you've downloaded it (or let it upload to 1.0 so you're a good torrent user).
I bought a DSL service from teksavvy, not a cablemodem. They sell both. My modem says "Bell" on the side, and it was installed by a Bell tech. Teksavvy is a reseller, I get the same bad service all Bell users do--but for much less money.
Yup. And in my opinion which one is better for you depends only on how far you are from their CO. In my case I get a much better quality connection off DSL, but I have friends who get a much better connection from cable. It depends on the length of the cable between your modem and their service.
They don't specifically target teksavvy customers. However, Rogers will see to their own customer's tech support before dealing with techsavvy issues.
I was considering switching last year to techsavvy cable. When I looked into it, there were issues in my area. Techsavvy blamed it on Rogers being slow to correct the issues they were raising. I'd recommend checking out the techsavvy forums to see if there are any such issues in your area before switching.
I was going to make the switch but Rogers made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I stayed with them. I've been happy since.
