What do I do? Anyone with similiar issue?

I can't find any tools or detailed reports to support Google's
position. I emailed billing support with the issue and got back ideas
on how to lower my bandwidth but no data to support their numbers.

I assume Google's numbers are right (no outcry from others) so I went
to a lot of trouble to verify each piece of my application. Still my
tests and instrumentation show a much lower usage of outgoing
bandwidth than google reports.

Thanks

What exactly does your application do? (are you serving images or providing files for download or fetching data from remote locations? etc)

What is the reported bandwidth?

What do you expect the bandwidth to be?
