I heard something about "leap seconds" messing with computers on NPR today, but wasn't paying very much attention. Maybe the leap second has your provider mixed up.
" As modern life has become more and more digital, the potential for snags when clocks go from 11:59:59 to 11:59:60, instead of straight to 12:00:00, has risen. The time warp has the potential of making mischief with law enforcement, voice and data services, utilities and weapons systems."
"About 10 percent of large-scale computer networks will encounter hiccups due to the leap second, said Geoff Chester, public affairs officer for the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, which keeps time for the world’s biggest military."
I switched from ting/sprint to ting/tmobile and my data that I thought I was using on the previous month (1gb bucket)
ended up on the beginning of next month.. was unfortunate.
I started the first day of their month with 300MB usage out of my 1GB
and ended the previous month with 600MB used out of 1GB.
Ting did give me a small credit to kinda make it right.
