@chipmunk actually, the data usage page is fairly accurate, but you need to know couple things.
1. PM is running on 30 cycle, not monthly, so make sure you know the beginning of the cycle and start counting from that day
2. data are posted only twice a day and could be as many as 12 hours delay
3. The filter on the page does not work!! There are tricks to make the filter to filter out correct info. but the easiest way is to download the FULL usage in XLS and then filter and sim up using Excel
I know and have done all of that and also had my friend double check it all for me. (I've been here for a while, just because I'm not logged into the community 24/7 and have a million posts and solutions to my credit, doesn't mean that I'm the village idiot.)
We are not talking about a few MB here or there, or the 5MB buffer. When extracting all the info from all usage history pages for the current cycle (which is easy since this is my data only line) and comparing to my usage pattern and phone records, the usage history has several 0 MB readings that should actually be 1.5+GB blocks that I've clearly and knowingly used. I'm not questioning the amount of data I've used (in contrary, I'm surprised that the front page counter isn't higher) - the usage history in my (!) account is way out of whack, by something like 5GB. All the discrediting and censorship of my concerns does not change that.
