Urgent help needed on bandwidth reporting

ZenecadE
Hi all.  
I'm running a 3G connection for internet.  When I got home, to my shock and horror I had found that I have reached my 10 gig cap in 1 day!  when I look at the network usage report, it shows that the WAN interface moved 10 gigs over HTTP.  The thing I don't understand is that all my computers were turned off before I left home this morning.  I had no torrents running, did no updates or anything.  How can I see what used up my bandwidth?  The app monitor shows nothing out of the ordinary and as can be seen on the supplied screenshot, the connected clients don't show the heavy usage.  What could possibly have eaten up all my bandwidth?

    I did that and 2 IP's show up with about all the traffic going to them.  They are 165.165.47.33 and 165.165.47.26.  akamai-ip33.telkom-ipnet.co.za appears next to one of those IP's.  Below is a whois to the first IP.  I don't understand what is happening to my bandwidth and 3G is so expensive [:(]
