    Personal opinion, change the hosting company. They may have a switch or router that is not working well and sends more packets, they'll count that as bandwidth. I seen it before!

    Hi,

    Ask them if they include mail in the bandwidth. You might be getting losts of emails (spam).

    Also check your site stats (if they provide you a webstats) and see which IP is utilizing the bandwidth. Your site might be under attack...

     and 2nd Advanced Web Statistics 6.5 (build 1.857) - Created by awstats :

    Summary

    Awstats will not show you other type of bandwidth generated by your mails but HELM does that.

    Try to disable catch-all feature in your domain's mail account.

    As i replied to you, HELM bandwidth is different from awstats because it will consider many pther things in bandwidth calculations like emails for example.
