Data overage after iOS 6

Is there a way to get a usage breakdown like that from the device, specifically an iPad? Or are you just keeping track of such usage manually?
I can't believe it, but I have the same problem.
My data usage lists me doing a 3.3GB data usage this past Friday night.
How is that possible? My entire data usage for the August bill was 800MB and my largest ever in one month is 1.3GB.
The guy at ATT on the phone told me I used over 10GB in my October period. I'm on unlimited so I get reduced to Edge speeds, but why is ios6 leaking data so much?
Has anyone seen a single usage that high? 3.3GB???

Yes, I had never gone over 400MB, EVER. Then I got iOS6 and my data usage is over 3GB a month! I haven't done anything differently.
Apple needs to fix this problem ASAP!
Yep... I'm at 4.5 GB this month already and my largest previous month was 1.2 GB.
What gives??? I'm also in session as a high school teacher, and I rarely use my phone for heaving data usage...
They need to fix this. Is the 6.0.1 update related to this problem at all?

we did as apple suggested, and restored my GF's iphone 4 online (not from the backup). then i moved her data back (from yahoo, and icloud). ugh.
and same issue; for example, 54megs moved from her phone (when she was not near it).
so...they gave her a new phone. a 3GS! she's going back today (they need to give her, at least, another 4).
WTF? anyway, since this is not the same phone, i am expecting to not have this problem again (i've never had it, on a 3GS, and my current 4S).
EDIT: apple gave her a new '4', not a 3GS LOL. she got confused!

iOS 6 is the worst update ever. iOS 5 was the best. Before I never broke 500mb. Now I'm at 4GB..
i have to point out, we've had this problem since may, when she first got her 4. and she was running ios5 at that time. so NOT just an ios6 issue...
I am having the same issue. I used to have an iPhone 4 and was using ~900MB a month. I just upgraded to an iPhone 5 and my usage has doubled. I used to be able to connect to wifi hotspots with a "login" page on iOS 6.0.0 but now that I have 6.0.1, the login page comes up in settings when I manually click to connect like it always has but nothing ever loads and I get that the server timed out. I can still connect to wifi networks with no login page. Is anyone else experiencing this with the 6.0.1 update?
Also, a couple of weeks ago I had gone to the Apple store and they told me this is a known issue and that a temporary "fix" would be to go into the settings of the individual wifi network you want to connect to and switch the HTTP Proxy to Auto. He said that will cause your phone to automatically connect to that particular network. It has worked for me so far.
