I'm sure phoning home only uses a small amount of data. But downloading the update and then sharing the update with others is where I think she got in trouble. Sharing is now turned off and the data is starting to normalize.

I know I won't get any money back. But I wonder how many other people ended up paying more for Windows 10 by downloading it then had they been able to purchase it on a DVD.

mobile providers in australia bill in 1MB minimum sessions (with quite short session times) that would add up pretty quickly with these wonderful backend connections.
