My use pattern fits your description, but I see about 2 to 3 times the data volumes you describe, which is why I suggested your family use is very conservative. In our household, we have 2 - 3 users (one on a tablet only), no streaming video, but a fair number of web page accesses. We do not use the internet for work, though.
The peak of 257 was from a friend coming to do a major download on my faster internet connection, and the October high was for the update to my computer operating system and phones and tablets. While I agree the OP consumption of 585 GB is extraordinary, usage up to the range of 50 - 60 GB per month without streaming, should be common. Telus has stated the 95% of their customers would be under the caps they have imposed.
It would be excellent if we as consumers had an easy means to view our consumption independently, however one would need to run all traffic through one's own router for that tally.
As mentioned, our internet usage and habits have not changed at all during these periods.
I don't know what happened but the yearly usage history is now showing read bars of past monthly usages.
It would be nice if Telus could fix this problem ASAP as I do check Internet usage on a daily basis.
Around 3:30pm today I checked my usage and the reading was at 242GB with an updated time of around 1:30pm ish. Now the usage meter reads less than what I used and the time the meter was taken only shows "within the last 24 hours" instead of the actual time recorded. I'm not sure what's going on with Telus but the usage meter readings still have some software bugs to work out.
