Er... Could be automatic updates?
Have you changed your Router passwords?

Dunno, could be either of those.

So does that mean that 31 Aug's stats are reflected on 1 Sep ?? Strange, I'm sure I downloaded a hell of a lot more than 16MB on the last day of month

im sitting with that problem

down and uploads for 31 August with a capped ip address were 501meg
i disconnected at 01:00 monday morning 1 September.
This has now been added to my September usage.
I have taken it up with telkom got a ref# but to date nothing has happend.. and i supose nothing will
Lesson: Disconnect be4 24:00 on the last day of the month or prepare for the endless hold music as you get passed from adsl support to telkom internet support cause apparently its always the other one problem!!

Man, that is totally unfair. It just shows you how totally ridiculous their logging system is. If you download on the last day of the month it should not matter when you disconnect.

We're definitely all learning the hard way!
