Clearly our assistance is needed here verizonfaithfulcustomer! Allow us to assist in your data usage concerns. Let's start with what make and model jetpack do you have? Also, what zip code are you in? What wifi compatible device(s) are you using with the jetpack? For example, if you are using a desktop or laptop then please verify that your programs and OS isn't set to auto update. As you share the details then we can customize a solution for you.

Thank you…

Thanks for those details! Is your jetpack plugged in to your desktop computer, or are you connected wireless? Has the usage slowed down at all? Do any other devices have access to connect to your jetpack?

So did they fix your problem? I am having the same issues and for the past two months I have used my internet very little, have quit watching ANY of my sermons and videos and my usage still keeps being eat up. I even went a full billing cycle with having the jetpack turned on for maybe one hour a day, very limited and I still got my usual monthly warning about Jan 13th that I had used 75% of my 15 GB. I should NOT have to be so sparing with my 15 GB... Now I see that the jet pack IS the reason and no one from Verizon has told me this.. They just keep trying to sell me more GB??? I am done... I was online today looking for solutions, INCLUDING leaving Verizon.... Just made my decision...After about 20 years of Verizon... what a shame...

I used to use separate lines for two iPads and two iPhones, never used more than 4 or 5 gigs per month even with heavy usage. with the jetpack we are using 15 to 20 gigs per month plus what we use on our T-Mobile iPhones, I don't understand why.

How can I determine if there is a problem with the jetpack?

Simple. The jet pack uses zero data. Really, zero. Only way data is used is if devices connect to it, THEY use data. And because the see a Wifi connection, they do the data wasteful things all devices do on Wifi, that they don’t do using mobile data. They update apps, do security updates, etc.
