why are you charged per usage OP? is it cheaper considerably?

well im with Rogers in Canada, and I am allowed 60 gb a month, anything over I have to pay $2 a gig. The Highest I got in previous months was 17 GB. Than in November after just joining Netflix I was up to 70 GB. lol

I got my network secured with a password last night. And now my internet is almost twice as fast. This gives me the impression that someone else was using my connection. However I'm pretty sure it was Netflix that drove up my usage.

Something that was weird I noticed is when I checked online about my usage. It says that I have mega bytes used up in uploading. I found this odd since I never upload anything at all. Does anyone know what that could be about?
