If I am not mistaken the usage is per connected device. So streaming from one device to another will show up as usage.

Basically any data transfer to and from a device will show up as usage when only using the supplied Bell router.

As for the "burst", you should be able to determine which device that is for, and correlate with the device as to what network activity is occurring on the device causing the "burst".
