do you happen to know if ISPs probe why someone's computer would be, all of a sudden, using tons more bandwidth than theye had in the past?

sorry for being such a pain in the ass. i really appreciate all your help. i just need to make sure that everything is going to be cool - making sure open ports won't hurt my comp, what to do should anyone pry into these sudden changes, etc.
