i think its high time, mifi and verizon data customers start compiling the necessary information (which i have already gathered for my own case) and start organizing a lawsuit against verizon for deceptive marketing , fraud(wire fraud), theft(interception) of data(e.g. the mysterious 3gb per month data overages experienced by numerous customers. anyone who has anything to add please feel free, lets use this opportunity to narrow down this issue and get some results.....time for verizon to open its wallet i personally am tired of being stolen from and im tired of paying $270.00 a month for a crap connection and crap reception with 7kbps transfer rate. 1 phone and one mifi device.

Check out my post on Excess Data Usage With MiFi. I posted the day-by-day usage reported by Verizon and by NetWorx on my data usages from Dec. 24 to yesterday.
Just did a 24 hour test on my PC Windows 8 says I used 787 MB Networx says 556 MB. Quite a difference. Now which one is wrong? Right now I'm not sure. Point is just because Networx says you used less than Verizon does doesn't mean it's right.
I work from home and checked with my IT dept about any possible updates since a few of you think that is the answer to the data over usage and was told there is no way any of the updates I receive ONCE a month would use that much data. I also wrote on an earlier post that I have worked at home for seven years and nothing has changed with my job to explain the over data usage. If you are tired of the things that are wrote on this thread then the simple answer is DON'T READ IT!!!!!
Also Xavier how do you have any idea how any of us have our computers set for updates?? In your own words, that is a bunch of bull....

If you don;t update your computer you are asking for trouble. I assume you have anti-virus on your computer. The best ones update DAILY. So you are saying you don't update anti-virus daily? Well that's asking for your PC to be infected.
Yes Brian I have a anti-virus program on my computer that is constantly updating. My fault for assuming when I wrote about monthly updates I didn't mention that did not mean my anti virus update.
Hi, I was browsing through these conversations looking for info on a different situation I'm having but thought I would drop in and pass on a little info I have on this. I have several remote sites that connect to my main office using Verizon 4G LTE modems. Each site has up to 2 users with laptop using them for an internet connection and their data usage is pretty consistent. Our plan allows for 10G data before we get an extra charge for extra Gigs. Last month one of my remote sites usage spiked for no apparent reason resulting in a $210 overage on the account. I trekked on over there to check things out.
Each laptop has an antivirus program, but what I found (or rather can't find) on one of the laptops is a running process that the AV would not detect as a virus or malware. By running a simple command at the Windows command prompt, I was able to determine that one of the laptops was making dozens of HTTP connections per second with no browsers running. I proceeded to close all programs and the connections persisted. I turned off the laptops wireless card, and the connections stopped. I enabled the card and the connections started up again within a few seconds.
Just for grins, try running this command at a CMD prompt if you are using a windows computer:
netstat -a -b
if you would like it to repeat on an interval, type in:
netstat -a -b 5
and it will repeat the command every 5 seconds. Press CTRL-C to quit. The -a switch will show ALL network connections your PC is making. the -b will try to resolve their IP address into a domain name you can read or recognize. You may be surprised to find your computer making a LOT of connections as I did for no apparent reasons.
The behavior stopped when I logged off of the account I was in and logged back in as an administrator, then started again when i logged off admin and back in as the user. If you try this and see a bunch of random HTTP connections (they will be clearly labeled) you may want to get your computer checked out, having and antivirus on your computer does NOT mean you can not get a virus on your system and junk can so easily slip into your systems through perfectly legitimate (but compromised) web connections.
Good luck.
Brian 68. I think you may be on to something. No program or provider is going to be perfect, but Verizon says it's never their fault.
Others, here are some more dissatisfied Verizon customers. Wade

I'm just saying that just because Networx says something doesn't mean it's right. Networx is free so it has no incentive to be accurate. Verizon has every incentive to have accurate meters since they can be sued and invested by the government for fraud if their meters are not correct. Now could they still be wrong? Sure, but as I said they have more incentive to correct errors.
I still say many people have issues because they do not have their connection secure. Doesn't apply to everyone but quite a few I'm sure. The same people that insist that is not the issue also admit they are not very good with technology either. What gets my goat is their insistence on not even bothering to see if that is an issue.
Millions of wireless subscribers probably don't realize that since a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year, consumers can no longer file class action suits against their carriers.
Spaccarelli sued AT&T because, as he argued, AT&T had stopped offering him an unlimited data service. Instead, he said the company was slowing down his service when he used 1.5 GB to 2GB of data in a given month. Spaccarelli's service was "throttled" as a result of a new AT&T policy designed to curb heavy data usage by its unlimited subscribers.
But thanks to a Supreme Court decision in 2011, which upheld a company's right to include a clause in contracts prohibiting subscribers from suing the company as part of a class action, Spaccarelli had only two options when fighting AT&T's new policy: He could enter into an AT&T-funded arbitration program or file his suit in small claims court.
Hey, rayvOne.
I read that post. But it can't be true! You don't really think that our Supreme Court would sell the American citizens out, do you?
That's sarcasm, Sheldon.
What I'm really wondering is why two law firms that specialize in class-action suits don't seem to know/believe this. And I can't find the contract I signed.
I went on-line, but can't find it. And I'm really convinced Verizon will send me a bill. That's why I asked if anyone knew the URL to the contract. Wade
Actually, yes it is a violation of the Verizon community policies. You have posted this reply multiple times and THAT is a violation.
Well then, I'll just post it on facebook. Don't want to violate any rules. Wade
That's sarcasm, Sheldon.
Let me first start off by saying we're having the same issues with the overages in 5 days of new billing cycle beginning with NO major downloads (except one time, and it wasn't even half our usage per month), windows updates which DO NOT account for GIGs of data, and no changes in daily browsing/usage.
Now let me continue to say to Wade, and PrettyPam and all the other customers here expressing their grief about this situation. Brian? he doesn't even HAVE the connection we do.... Brian has CABLE internet, read it in his own words in another forum. >Off topic comment deleted. I can not say this enough, PLEASE stay on topic. It is when comments start to veer off and turn into a lobbing of accusations and rude comments and name calling that we are forced to lock threads<
