Excessive data usage in just 12 hours?!!

Hi,

Restart for my data usage is on 11th of each month which is today (11th JULY 2023)

Today for the very first time I checked my data usage in my EE app and was shocked to see that I've already used 1.5 GB??

I was/am at home connected to my high speed wi-fi at so I decided to phone and ask why?

The person who answered my call couldn't provide any answer regarding my usage for the last 12 hours but had a look at my previous bill and blamed my instagram/ youtube and SKYPE that working in a background and using loads of data for whatever

The problem is that I don't have SKYPE, I never had SKYPE and most of the time I'm at home working from home and am connected to high speed wi-fi that I pay a lot for, therefore have no doubt that at least my wi-fi  works really good (  I'm using my mac book /watch TV among so many other things 24/7).

Anyway I disconnected all my apps from EE data to see what other excuses they have?!! The only reason I got the 10 GB per month was the fact that for the very first two years that I was with EE I used max 2 GB every month which means I used max 50GB for TWO YEARS and now since I've started my contract I'm using more that 80% of my data.

I'm very very unhappy and don't except the blames on my phone which btw is a new IPHONE 13 pro max, anyway If you have any similar experience or suggestion please share. Many thanks

Hey there @els220, welcome to the Community!

If you're using an iPhone, it's worth going into your settings and selecting Mobile Service > WiFi Assist, and making sure this is off.

When this service is active, if you've got a slow or unstable WiFi connection your phone will use data to improve the quality of this. 

If you were wanting to speak with our team to troubleshoot further issues with this too, you can find all the details you need for how to get in touch here:
