Unexplained sudden jump in data use

I've seen a sudden jump in data use that has put me over the limit by the 2nd week in March. This is suspicious because I've been traveling a large part of that time and exceeded my normal monthly use in less than two weeks. Even more suspicious when you consider I went from working at home/ streaming full time to retired in the past few months. 

How can I get help with this?

Hmm, that is certainly strange @user_bdcozz! Can you clear your browser cache and cookies and then attempt to send us a DM again?

Shopping for a new internet provider will be easier than trying to deal with Xfinity.
