"nothing else running on pc"
Not possible.
Stop mining or move them to a different internet connection for a short period and see what happens to your usage...my guess is it will not change at all.
Mining uses a negligible amount of b/w so something else must be up with that PC or the pipe (another machine on the local network).

Internet connection:
How many internet connected devices (PCs, laptops, Printers, Smart Phones, Game Systems, toasters, etc.):

WiFi in house?  Password protected?

That's where I would start at least.

From my experience, I would guessitimate the OP's setup using about 10 MB of data A DAY at most.
