Since my 3 months of unlimited trial data will end soon, I check myTelusmobility.com each day to understand how I use my data, and what is expensive, and what isnt.

I saw something really bad.

Yesterday, i didnt use any data (no e-mail, no internet, no msn), and still spent 689 k, the day before same thing for a use of 895k. I read a thread that say that the Q have some program running background and using data without my authorisation (pMSNserver.exe). If that program run without my authorisation, why i suppose to pay for that. I mean, i dont want that program running in my Q, but telus put it. They do that to boost our data usage?

If we take 700k per day to run this program * 30 day a month, its make 21 meg of data per month without any use by me. Since i have 4 meg plan (and i want use it for my e-mail), I pay 12$ per meg above the 4th first. 21 meg cost me 252$ extra...... for a program running without my autorisation. Why Telus do that. Its a false presentation of their product. The seller told me that with 4 meg data I can receive about 25 e-mails of 5 k each per day without worrying about my data. He told me that a normal e-mail should take 3-4k. He didnt tell me that I need 21 more meg to "run" my cellphone.

Anyway.... I will call telus this evening and see what they tell me. Im about to cancel my data plan, and ask them to lock all my data usage to prevent that. If Telus want to devellop their data services, I really think they should offer something better than what they offer now.

Anyway, Ill keep you advise on that when Ill have more information.
