Individual Data usage on WiFi network
Like others have described, I am getting emails and texts about excessive data usage on my WiFi network. Nothing in my household has changed, but I am seeing incredible data usage overall. I can easily see the data usage report on the Xfinity website, but that does not tell me what is driving my alleged overages. I only had one person in my house for the last month, so the overage might be a vehicle or a device. I have tried the Xfinity App advance settings, but it never loads. I know I could just sign up for a higher tier (2GB) to get unlimted, but I already have a 3 year contract for 1GB, which is already ridiculous.
What else can I do?

@HammspaceHave you tried changing your network's password? You can then isolate specific devices by logging them back into the network one at a time to see if something had a download going on in the background. Typical culprits are large downloads that get stuck on a loop consistently trying to download as it fails to complete. A good example of that would be video game downloads from gaming consoles or PCs and media files like pictures and videos.
