I have a 8ta 3g connection using the 50 gig bundle (25gig night & 25gig day) for r1000
I created a wifi hotspot by connecting my modem to a router so that we can all share the connection at home
we used the connection for 3 hours & i noticed my data went from 21 gig to 10 gig
I tried it again & it wiped my data fast in less than 30 minites it consumed more than 500 mb
i was monitoring all computers & laptops connected to the hotspot
Is there a special charge they charge us for connecting more than one device on a 3g connection
 
nope. Maybe one of the machines was running a software upgrade in the background. I do what you say you are doing and never had an issue.

Nope, no extra charge. There was definitely something in the background doing something. Sure it was only your pc's connected to the hotspot ;)
