Internet Usage Question

I flashed a new ROM on my phone recently and while checking my usage on the Sprint site, I noticed that data usage was practically at 0 when I've been using my phone's connection almost non-stop over the past week (no internet at the apartment). I know I've been having problems with the internet sharing program so I switched back to using PDAnet last night. My question is that while looking in the connections under advanced, my phone is connecting using 'MY ISP', does that sound right or should it be 'Data Network'? I honestly have no clue as to what is should be, I'd rather not touch it but I'm just a bit paranoid when it comes to sprint and I don't want a surprise bill even though I've had unlimited data for years.

Thanks in advance.

sometimes it takes a while to update (I notice this a lot with mine as well)

Which is what I'm assuming. I guess since my new month started over a week ago, I thought it would be up to speed. There was one month that was reported that I didn't use any anytime minutes or the internet. Granted I was out of the country for half the month but the other half should have had some usage. It's sprint so I should just stop asking questions.

You can call Sprint regarding your usage and they may be able to tell you your usage.
You don't want any surprises.
The fact that you showed zero data usage previously yet know you had usage makes it seem that there is a discrepancy somewhere.
It would be great if you can have usage and have it show zero but I think they would catch it eveventually as it is too obvious.
Your bill showed zero data usage last time? Was that online and/or paper?
