Either: your PC has been compromised with some malware (or has P2P running);
Or: your network traffic recording application is incorrectly counting incoming broadcast traffic (e.g. ARPs, DHCP discovery) in its totals.
You should not count ARPs and DHCP broadcasts in your traffic totals if you are trying to emulate or predict an ISP's volume-related capping or charging.
