I have turned off the Windowsauto updates, am in the middle of the desert in AZ where there are few people around and this has happened in multiple locations so is not someone using my MiFi so a password change would not help.
I am suspecting either the MiFI faulting hence the new one on the way and/or Comcast is such a data hog in the background with their imbedded photos. I will jusy have to watch like a hawk, turn off what I can as I use the computer all the while gritting my teeth in fear of this again.
Verizon did not give me any relief from all the extra data and of course my MiFi was out of warranty................ $$$$.
Once i left google maps on while i was traveling and it busted the data allowance in no time. I use an N7 tablet with V MIFI and sometimes we'll use google maps for short term navigation to a restaurant or something and must remember to shut google maps off (or similar, like mapquest). The continuous map location updates eats up a lot of data.
