High Bandwidth Usage
I have satellite high speed internet. The last two months I am exceeding my bandwidth usage. I have Wild Blue through DirecTV, since I am in a rural area, there aren't many choices. I don't understand why I suddenly have this problem. I don't really do anything different than I have before. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I am very internet speak illiterate, so please tell me like you would tell a dummy.

Any details on what you are exceeding and by how much? Any specifics on your bill?

Maybe the cows in the pasture are watching old Chickfila commercials?

Re: High Bandwidth Usage
Some companies have capped bandwidth usages on high usage customers.
Surfing, Email, and Facebook doesn't take all that much. It's the amount of streaming content that will get you over the top quick.
So far, they haven't charged us extra on the bill yet. AT&T says we would get a notice we were crossing the line excessively before charging extra.
Rather than risk going higher on the bill, we just cut back on Netflix watching and watch more stuff on DVD's.
Our connection runs extremely slow though sometimes so I know they have pegged us as high usage and slowed down our DSL connection.

Did you always have a bandwidth limit? maybe you were on a trial period. Did u scan for viruses and other malware?
Maybe you have adware or spyware that is sending information out

That I don't know, I have the highest package that you can get. It is usually my upload that is high. I do not view videos but I do use Facebook and play FarmVille. That is what the techs say is causing my problem. I will scan for viruses and malware. I use AVG for virus protection.

Re: High Bandwidth Usage
I would recommend downloading Malware Bytes (do a google search for it. you can get it free). It finds lots of stuff that my virus checker does not. (my computer geeks who work on my computer recommended it to me) Any of the rest of you use that?

If your upload is high then you are sending out a lot of data
Download Malwarebytes antimalware. Install and allow to update and scan. Scan on quick scan.Don't scan with avg
Download superantispyware too and run it after

No cows, only goats and chickens.
