10MB is too low to account for hacking! I guess it is some automatic updation happening. May be Windows Automatic Updates!....

or antivirus software updating itself.

or sumone has ur ID & passwrd

there was a discussion going in chip forum on similar issue, so change ur Passwrd to a more secure one or use a dialer to connect.

i'm on ul900 plan so no worries

^^whats the benefit of using a dialer to connect ???

[s18000rpm]

ur password is not saved on Router(modem), so ur safe

yes its possible that someoneelse is using your account if he knows ur password!

First change your password, and then switch to Dialup Mode
(aka Bridge Mode)

Just change to a lengthy password and disable if there is an option like "remote management"!

You cant expect your speed to increase, .. your speed is set by your service provider. It doesnt change.
