Other users having low data usage doesn't prove they also have low usage?

Are people so uncomfortable saying "we don't know" that they use such loose reasoning to "get the answer"?

I'll re-read the article/tweets, maybe I missed something.

The follow-up Tweet is from the same person who reported the initial issue.

This happens a lot: Devices get a new IP address but some tool has an internal database that remembers the old device at that address. It then shows stats for the new device at that IP address but reports it as coming from whatever it was initially recognized as.

Why are you ignoring that the person who made the original claim about 3.7 GB of data per day stated that it could be an accuracy issue with his router?
