Hello,
Has anyone experienced similar to me?
I signed up to Smarty mobile (4g) yesterday - 32gb p/m.
I've used my WiFi in the house since, and for all updates etc, and only used my mobile data to check a few web pages and run some connection tests.
I checked my account this morning and it says I've used 674mb!
I have my settings the same as previous provider, which was nowhere near this usage.
Must say I'm pretty alarmed by this.

Did you use speed test by ookla? I found it used nearly 1GB per test while using data.

@FunkMoth If you do a speed test on 5G, it certainly can eat data - I have experienced the best part of 1Gb disappearing that way - lesson learned!!

Oh dear. Looks like I have my answer.
I ran numerous speed tests [including ookla] so that must be where all the usage went.
I didn't expect that. But yes, a lesson has been learnt.
Thanks for your responses! No more speed checking for me.
