Having data problems with ios6, seems to be a unique problem?

Question

My little brother recently bought an iphone 4s and imediately upgraded to ios6. Since the phone has been in use (less than 30 days) the phone company (bell a canadian company) claims he has used up 17 Gigs of data but the iphone counter says he has only used 5 gigs. I realize the counter may not be totally accurate but that big of a difference seems a little crazy. I also have an iphone 4s with the ios 6 and my data usage that my phone counter displays matches what my phone company says almost perfect (a few mb difference). The data amounts come in large chunks on my brothers phone and at very odd times such as: 1456.28 mb at 4:04 am, or 4268.07mb in one session. He does not use his phone for streaming or anything like that, We are aware of what uses large amounts of data and what does not. he uses it for facebook twitter web browing etc.
When talking to tech support one guy said that we could have a "lemon" phone claiming that a known problem with ios6 can cause the data to somehow get "scrambled" and completely making up data usage numbers to send to the phone company. According to him this makes it an apple problem.
My main question is has anyone heard of this? If so I am looking for articles talking abut this problem, we are looking at $1000.00 in overage chrges and are preparing for a fight with the phone company.
The counter has never been reset and I know that I use my iphone 4s much more than my brother (I stream utube and radio stations alllll the time, goole maps etc) and have never once gone over my 6 gb limit. It just seems quite crazy to me that the difference in the iphone data collector (about 5 gb) and what the phone company has (17gb) is so great. To me that is indicating a serious problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I have upgraded from a SB Li've! to an SB Li've 24-bit, but I HAVE performed a complete format/clean install of WinXP SP2 to try to correct this problem. WinXP at first recognizes the card as a "Multimedia Audio Controller(the whole yellow "!" found in device manager). Upon installing either the drivers that came with the CD or the updated drivers from the website, the card works fine until I start the system up again, and I'm back at square one, having to install either set of drivers again(and rebooting) to have the card work properly once again. But after shutting down AGAIN... It's like I never installed the drivers in the first place. I'm running in a vicious circle here, like WinXP refuses to acknowledge the drivers permanently. I have formatted and reinstalled WinXP SP2 a total of three times now, to no avail. I'm a computer tech of 2 years and have NEVER seen a problem such as this. Each time the device manager comes up as "drivers for this device has not been installed". And from personal experiences/general knowledge, this does not sound like faulty hardware to me. It's THIS kind of instabilaty that makes me actually MISS dos! Um... help?
Hi
Sounds like your system don't recognize the sard (BIOS or OS).
Does your system recognize the card as a "Creative Li've! 24-bit" or something (is PnP functionality in use?) even it don't work? Is BIOS battery well?
Have you tried by installing Li've! in another PCI slot?
Is there some security settings set on XP, and are you installing with full admin rights? Can you find the driver files even when your card is not functioning?
Also, have you tried install drivers by executing the ctzapxx.exe found on installation package.
