Same problem hit my mother on 10.6 Intel. I suspect Firefox or some other program is trying to update. My mother's new iMac was trying to get a Firefox update that was older than the current version. I downloaded the current version on a laptop using the wireless at her local library. Once that was installed the modem was back to normal traffic levels. Turn off automatic updates. -- George N.
