No offense taken, and I certainly suspected a possible virus. However, this was on my home PC, the only PC that is on 24/7. I ran Wireshark, netstat, and assorted other utilities to check the activity, the PC is clean. I was occasionally running uTorrent, but the torrents I was seeding were low demand (live shows shared via Dime A Dozen) and that program was throttled.
Now I don't know for a fact exactly how much bandwidth I was using. I am basing the 10 terrabytes on the published news stories. Perhaps I was using nowhere near that, and Verizon has not been forthcoming about the limits (at least not to me) so maybe it really was just about Tor.
