Default STEAM uses bandwidth when idle?

S!

Does anyone know if Steam uses significant bandwidth when idle?

I ask because for the first time ever I am going over my 10GB per month bandwidth limit set by my ISP (BT). For a good couple of years now I have been under the limit every month, and now I am going over. BT are claiming that on some days I am using up to 4GB ... in one day. That surely can't be right and it's getting expensive.

Would appreciate anyone's thoughts/suggestions/experiences on this.

Thanks

PPP
