My daughter does on-line gaming through her X-Box, but that is limited to a couple hours a day on weekends. I suspect she is on-line when we are not home, though.

that's probably it. if you are worried about usage charges it's not really about how much she is using the xbox, more so what downloads the xbox is doing while it is on. could be updates, games, content, etc, but it will definitely be downloading stuff in the background from time to time.

Any way I can block that without fucking with her gaming capabilities?

not really, generally to play a game online it needs to be the the most up to date version, meaning the patches are required to play.

I haven't used an xbox on live so I can't say if there's a way to restrict any of the optional stuff. if it's the new xbox try this?

One way to reduce bandwidth usage when not using the console is to go into Settings/Power & Startup and switch Power Mode to "Energy Saving" instead of "Instant On."

This will put the console in a low power state and stop it from auto-updating the system and games. The only drawback is that you cannot turn the console on using voice commands and the system will take longer to boot. But at least you can choose when the system and games will update this way.

Given that Rogers upgraded you router I assume now you have better speeds? Given that is true your household can likely stream much better than before?

I do not think the Xbox gaming is the issue, we have Xbox, Wii, PS3 and all get used online when grandkids are over. Barely blips on the usage radar.
As I said before 6GB in a day is a lot. She (or someone connected to your router) is streaming video/music almost for sure. I'm sure you can leave certain devices off for a day and check your usage, likely can narrow it down that way. Is she perhaps streaming on her phone while playing Xbox?
Only other alternative is to pay for unlimited bandwidth.

FYI, surfing the web, etc (non media streaming) would likely not even use a GB in 24 hours so use that info to help you determine source.

^^^ ya what he said, the general usage of the xbox online is never the issue here, ever. 3 pcs, xbox, ps4 going almost 24/7 at my place.

pretty sure my worst usage/slowdown actually occured was when i was uploading masssssive files for a month.

someone is transfering large amounts of data at your house for the usage to be that high.
